Fiber or fibre is a natural or synthetic substance that is significantly longer than it is wide. Fibers are often used in the manufacture of other materials.

Fibers are classified by their chemical origin, falling into two groups or families:

Natural fibers

Synthetic fibers

Natural fibers or natural fibres are fibres that are produced by plants, animals, and geological processes. They can be used as a component of composite materials, where the orientation of fibers impacts the properties. Natural fibers can also be matted into sheets to make products such as paper, felt or fabric

Natural fibres can be segmented into two types,

Plant fibres

Animal fibres

Plant fibres on the whole, is strong and soft. Cotton and Linen are plant fibers which are made from cotton plant and stems of flax respectively. They both have the quality to absorb moisture and crease easily. Plant fibers are made of cellulose. Both the fibers are ideal for summer clothing. Plant fibers include seed hairs, such as cotton; stem (or bast) fibres, such as flax and hemp; leaf fibres, such as sisal; and husk fibres,

Animal fibers are natural fibers that consist largely of particular proteins. Instances are silk, hair/fur (including wool) and feathers. The most commonly used animal fibers in the manufacturing world as well as by the hand spinners are wool from domestic sheep and silk. Silk is produced by the silkworm, Bombyx mori. Fed on mulberry leaves, it produces liquid silk that hardens into filaments to form its cocoon. The larva is then killed, and heat is used to soften the hardened filaments so they can be unwound. Single filaments are combined with a slight twist into one strand, a process known as filature or "silk reeling
