Question

Silkworms eat continuously for many days before making the silk fibre. How does this act help the silk worm?

Answer 1

To make silk dress, lots of mulberry leaves are consumed by silkworms.

To produce 8 kilograms of silk dress, silkworms need to eat 1500 kilograms of mulberry leaves.

You can imagine how a tiny silkworm worth 1gram has around 1500 eggs.

A Silk dress that you find in the market takes around 1800-1900 cocoons to be built into a dress.
