Question

Answer 1

Answer:

Silk is a natural protein fiber, some forms of which can be woven into textiles. The protein fiber of silk is composed mainly of fibroin and is produced by certain insect larvae to form cocoons.[1] The best-known silk is obtained from the cocoons of the larvae of the mulberry silkworm Bombyx mori reared in captivity (sericulture). The shimmering appearance of silk is due to the triangular prism-like structure of the silk fibre, which allows silk cloth to refract incoming light at different angles, thus producing different colors.

Answer 2

According to me this is the answer

According to me this is the answerExplanation:

So silk is made from silworm but its non-living thing as the cocoon is a non living thing and any silk does not show any charcterstics of living things i.e. silk did not move by its own. It also do not perform respiration,reproduction and other characterstics.

Hence,it is a non-living thing.
