Paper is made out of plants. Cotton is also made out of plants. So they both give out similar fumes while burning as their origin comes from plants.

Silk is made out of silk worms. They create hair like fibers which are woven to form silk fabric. That's why they give hair burning smell.

Hope it helps ✌️✌️✌️
