Answer 1

Rayon is known as artificial silk. It has properties similar to silk. It was obtained by chemical treatment of wood pulp. It is a man-made fibre.

In short, there are four types of natural silk produced around the world: Mulberry silk, Eri silk, Tasar silk and Muga silk. Mulberry silk contributes around as much as 90% of silk production, with the mulberry silkworm generally being regarded as the most important.
