Question

3. How is jute fibre extracted from jute plant? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The jute fiber comes from the stem and ribbon (outer skin) of the jute plant. The fibers are first extracted by retting. The retting process consists of bundling jute stems together and immersing them in slow running water. ... After the retting process, stripping begins; women and children usually do this job.

Answer 2

Answer:

Jute is a long, soft, shiny bast fiber that can be spun into coarse, strong threads. It is produced from flowering plants in the genus Corchorus, which is in the mallow family Malvaceae. The primary source of the fiber is Corchorus olitorius, but such fiber is considered inferior to that derived from Corchorus capsularis.[1] "Jute" is the name of the plant or fiber used to make burlap, hessian or gunny cloth.
