Answer:
The worm stays inside the cocoon for about 10 days to finally emerge as an adult moth. But in mulberry silk, the moths are not allowed to emerge out of the cocoons. The thread breaks when this happens. The moths are therefore killed before they could come out to obtain the maximum and continuous length of the thread .

Because the thread becomes loose and we don't get proper silk.
