Question

how is silk fibre produced

Answer 1

Answer:

The protein fiber of silk is composed mainly of fibroin and is produced by certain insect larvae to form cocoons. The best-known silk is obtained from the cocoons of the larvae of the mulberry silkworm Bombyx mori reared in captivity (sericulture).These insects feed on mulberry trees and weave their cocoons from two silk glands located under their body. The glands produce the natural protein fiber and form a half-mile long cocoon. In Asia, silkworm farms with thousands of these 3-inch worms produce the silk from the cocoons. Spiders are another source of silk
