True

Muga: This golden yellow colour silk is prerogative of India and the pride of Assam state. It is obtained from semi-domesticated multivoltine silkworm, Antheraea assamensis. ... Muga culture is specific to the state of Assam and an integral part of the tradition and culture of that state

Hey !!

Here is your answer dear

Hope you are doing well ^•^

Muga silkworms are mostly wild unlike the mulberry silkworm, which is completely domesticated. The muga silkworm is a single species with little genetic variation among populations, survives harsh climatic conditions and is subject to various diseases, pests and predators.

Wild silk industry in India

Muga, Tasar, and Eri silkworms are not fully tamed and the world calls the silks they produce as 'wild silks'. India produces four kinds of silk: mulberry, tasar, muga and eri. The silkworm Bombyx mori is fed on mulberry leaves cultivated in plantations.
