hi here is your answer
Explanation:
The process of silk production is known as sericulture. ... Extracting raw silk starts by cultivating the silkworms on mulberry leaves. Once the worms start pupating in their cocoons, these are dissolved in boiling water in order for individual long fibres to be extracted and fed into the spinning reel.

Female silk worm lays eggs on mulberry leaves. These eggs hatch into caterpillar or larvae. Larvae develop by eating leaves of this plant. Caterpillars form a thread structure (cocoon) around themselves . In cocoon , caterpillar changes to pupa stage. Before the cocoon changes to adult , it is kept in sun or hot water or steam to obtain silk.
