Answer:
1. Clothing (also known as clothes, apparel and attire) is items worn on the body. ... Clothes can insulate against cold or hot conditions, and they can provide a hygienic barrier, keeping infectious and toxic materials away from the body. Clothing also provides protection from ultraviolet radiation.
2. Natural fibre. ... Natural fibre, any hairlike raw material directly obtainable from an animal, vegetable, or mineral source and convertible into nonwoven fabrics such as felt or paper or, after spinning into yarns, into woven cloth.
3. Plant fibers are generally composed of cellulose, often in combination with other components such as lignin. Examples include cotton, hemp, jute, flax, ramie, sisal, and bagasse.
4. Soil type:
Alluvial sandy loam, clay loamy soils are best suited for jute production. Capsularis jute can grow even in standing water especially towards the latter part of its growth. Olitorius jute will not thrive in standing water. The latter is more drought resistant and is therefore grown on lighter soils.
5. The thickest and most resistant of all commercial natural fibres, coir is a coarse, short fibre extracted from the outer shell of coconuts.
