Answer 2

We distinguish between natural silk and artificial silk as follows:

• Natural slik can be produced naturally by silkworms whereas Artificial silk is produced by excessive burning of the worms in the form of a cocoon.
• The quality of natural silk is way better as compared to artificial silk as it is expensive.
• It is produced by the silkworms to extract silk and treating the silkworms requires less labor in bulk.
• The fabric which burns to give a smell of burning paper will be natural silk, as wool is also made of proteins.
