It is its property as it is made from cocoon

Answer 2

hello frnd,

Silk is a naturally made fibre by the Mulberry worm and hence contains protein, just like hair, which also contains a lot of protein. On burning hair, we get the smell of  burning protein. Similarly when we burn silk we get the smell of burning protein, which we know as the smell of burning hair.
