Answer:
The word latter is referring to silk
The larva or caterpillar is fed by mulberry leaves.
After that the caterpillar just converts into cocoon.
Normally the cocoon breaks and a silkworm arises out of it.
But to obtain the silk the silk industries put the cocoons in boiled water.
About 1500 cocoons are boiled to make just one silk thread.

Silkworms eat only mulberry leaves. The entire process can be controlled by keeping the worms in a controlled environment; protecting them from ants, mice, and disease; and feeding them mulberry leaves.
