Question

state the role of the silkworm in the production of silk​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The silkmoth eggs hatch to form larvae or caterpillars, known as silkworms. The larvae feed on mulberry leaves. Having grown and moulted several times, the silkworm extrudes a silk fibre and forms a net to hold itself. It swings itself from side to side in a figure '8', distributing the saliva that will form silk.
