Explanation:
1)Plant fibres are the fibre which are obtained from plants whereas, Animal fibres are fibres which are obtained from animals. Plant fibres are fibres which are obtained plants. Such as cotton and jute while animal fibres are fibres which are obtained from animal sources. Such as silk and wool.
2)Wool is obtained from the sheep by a long process which involves the following steps:Shearing, Scouring, Sorting. Dyeing, Combing and Spinning.
3)The female silk moth lays about 300 to 400 eggs at a time. The eggs hatch and the caterpillars or silkworms emerge. Inside the cocoon, the silkworm enters the second stage of its life (called the pupa) and then the third and final stage to become an adult moth.
4)Cocoons are collected and kept under the sun, or boiled, or exposed to steam. ... The process by which silk thread is separated from the cocoon is called reeling the silk. Then, the spinning of silk fibres into threads is done.
5)the silkworm ate great quantities of mulberry leaves, they were digested and nutrients were sent into the bloodstream. The silk glands absorbed these nutrients. The larva has a small spinneret on its lip, through which the silk emerges. ... The silkworms spin their cocoons inside these frames
