Answer:

The philosopher's wool is a chemical compound which is also known as the zinc oxide or ZnO.

Explanation:

In the ancient times people used to burn zinc metal for religious rituals and the ZnO was produced as the combustion residual substance.

This ZnO residual has a wool like texture that's why people named it as the the "philosopher's wool".

This name is still popular among the people.
