Answer 1

Answer:

1. Cotton

• Cotton is a soft fibre that is obtained from cotton plants and grows as a boll.

• It is mainly grown in regions having black soil and warm conditions.

• In India cotton is basically grown in Maharashtra, Punjab, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat etc.

• It is one of the most commonly used fibres.

• When cotton plants start flowering, they give flowers of yellowish-white colour which turns red in colour after a few days.

• Slowly, flowers change into cotton balls.

1. Jute

• Jute fibre is obtained only from the stem of the jute plants. It is mainly grown in the rainy season.

• Jute mainly grows in regions having alluvial soil which is found in the delta regions of the Ganges and Brahmaputra rivers.

• In India, jute is basically grown in the states of Bihar, West Bengal and Assam.

• Jute is sometimes also called as the golden fibre. It is soft, shiny and long fibre with a silky texture.

• Jute plant is about 3 meters in height and bears yellow flowers in a few months.

• At flowering stage only, jute plants are cut and a good quality fibre is obtained at this stage.

• The dry leaves of the plants are kept in water for a few days.

• During this time, the liquid skin moves out to separate the fibre and this process is known as retting.
