Commercially useful bast fibres include flax, hemp, jute, kenaf, ramie, roselle, sunn, and urena. Fibre bundles are often several feet long and composed of overlapping cellulose fibres and a cohesive gum, or pectin, which strengthens plant stems.
Explanation:
Plant fibres are obtained from various parts of plants, such as the seeds (cotton, kapok, milkweed), stems (flax, jute, hemp, ramie, kenaf, nettle, bamboo), and leaves (sisal, manila, abaca), fruit (coir) and other grass fibres. Fibres from these plants can be considered to be totally renewable and biodegradable.
Fibres that are produced on the seeds of various plants have been called seed hair or seed fibres. The most important fibre of this class is cotton.
