Answer:
Natural fibre’ is a term used to refer to the fibres that are obtained from (or are produced by) animals and plants. These fibres have a wide range of applications in the manufacture of composite materials. Paper and felt (a type of textile material) can be prepared by matting different layers of natural fibres into sheets.
Most natural fibres are known to be good absorbers of sweat and other liquids. A wide range of textures can be obtained from different natural fibers (either individually or through a combination of two or more natural fibres). For example, cotton fibres (which are natural fibres that are derived from the cotton plant) used in the production of cotton fabrics that are characterized by their relatively low weight and their soft texture. Another advantage of cotton fibre is that it can be woven into clothing of various sizes and colours. Clothing which is made up of natural fibers (like cotton) are usually preferred over the clothes that are made up of synthetic fibers, especially by the people who live in hot and humid regions.
