Answer:
The process of silk production is known as sericulture. ... Extracting raw silk starts by cultivating the silkworms on mulberry leaves. Once the worms start pupating in their cocoons, these are dissolved in boiling water in order for individual long fibres to be extracted and fed into the spinning reel.

Let's take a closer look at how silk is made from silkworm cocoons. The following is a step-by-step guide to silk manufacture.
Explanation:
- Silkworms create silk fibres during their larval stage. In two or three days, the larva spins a cocoon to shelter itself as it develops into a pupa.
- The silkworm produces silk before it evolves into an adult silk moth. In addition, the farmer harvests silk fibre while it is still in the pupa stage.
- After that, he immerses the cocoons in hot water to soften the layers.
- To disentangle the silk threads, the silk workers brush the cocoons.
