Answer:
Silk is a natural protein fiber, some forms of which can be woven into textiles.
The protein fiber of silk is composed mainly of fibroin and is produced by certain insect larvae to form cocoons.
Silk is primarily used in garments and household items, but it is also employed in unexpected ways, such as in bicycle tires and in medicine.
Silk is great for summer clothing because of its absorbent nature and how it wicks moisture, and it is also a staple for winter wear since it has low conductive properties.
