Answer:

Cotton will absorb the maximum amount of water as

  • nylon is a synthetic fibre
  • cotton has a characteristic of absorbimg water
  • wool and jute absorbs less water comparatively to cotton

Cotton is pure cellulose, a naturally occurring polymer. ... These negatively charged groups attract water molecules and make cellulose and cotton absorb water well. Cotton can absorb about 25 times its weight in water. Chemists refer to substances like cotton as hydrophilic, which means that they attract water molecules.
