Explanation:
The process of silk production is known as sericulture. ... Extracting raw silk starts by cultivating the silkworms on mulberry leaves. Once the worms start pupating in their cocoons, these are dissolved in boiling water in order for individual long fibres to be extracted and fed into the spinning reel.

Answer:
The caterpillar or silkworm spins the cocoon inside which develops the silk moth. The cocoons are kept under the sun or boiled or exposed to steam. The silk fibres separate out from the cocoon using special machines. This process is called reeling the silk.
