Answer 2

Answer:

The long thin strands in the small cotton piece are fibres.

Therefore, option b) Fibre is correct.

Explanation:

The long thin strands in the small piece of cotton are _____.

As we know,

• The thin strands of the thread that we can see with our eyes are made up of still thinner strands that are known as fibres.
• Basically, fibres are the basic units of fabrics.
• The fabrics are made up of the yarns and the yarns are further made up of fibres.

There are two types of fibres:

Natural fibres: The fibres that are obtained naturally from plants and animals.

Synthetic fibres: The fibres that are man-made and are not obtained from plants and animals.

In the given case of cotton fibres;

• Cotton fibres are obtained from the cotton plants and hence are known as natural fibres.
• Cotton fibres are obtained from the cotton bolls ( fruits ) of the cotton plants.

Hence, the long thin strands in the small piece of cotton are fibres.
