Explanation:
Jute fibers are obtained from the skin, or ribbon of the plant and the stalk. In a process called retting the stalks and ribbons are bundled together and immersed in Slowly running water. Then the stripping process begins-nonfibrous material is scraped away and the remaining fibers are pulled out.
The jute plant is normally harvested at flowering stage. The stems of harvested plants are bundled and immersed in water for 10 to 15 days. The stems rot (the process is called rotting) and fibres are separated by hand. These fibres are converted into yarns to make fabrics.
