The fibre known as cotton, which is a silky, puffy thread, develops in a boll all around spores of plants belonging to the genus Gossypium. Nearly all of the fibre is cellulose.
- In the dark, clayey soil, cotton is grown. It requires a hot temperature. Early spring is when the cotton crop is sown. Cotton plants grow to a height of 1-2 metres and are bushy.
- The plants begin to flower and produce whitish-yellow flowers after around 60 days. In a few days, the blossoms turn scarlet. Flowers gradually develop into spheres like walnuts.
- They are referred to as cotton balls. These seeds develop into cotton fibres. Cotton balls that were once green eventually turn brown. The white cotton fibre is visible when the cotton bolls open up at maturity.
- The cotton produced from plants contains seeds. Ginning is the process of extracting cotton seeds from bean pods. In the past, ginning was done by hand. Today, ginning is done with the aid of machinery.
- Spinning is the way of transforming fibre into yarn. Bales of the raw cotton are sent to the industry.
