Answer:
leaves of the mulberry plant
The silkworm ( Bombyx mori) feeds on leaves of the mulberry plant. A common agricultural fungicide, if present on mulberry leaves, can impair oxygen consumption and reduce silk production in the silkworm, according to a new study by researchers at São Paulo State University in Brazil.

Answer:
Bombyx mori are herbivores. They feed specifically on white mulberry leaves, but also eat Osage oranges and lettuce. They do most of their eating in the larval stage (Encarta 1998).
