Explanation:

Where does Silk Come From:-

Basically the silk comes from silkworms. The larva is the source of the silk. From the glands, silkworms produce the natural protein fiber, that forms the cocoon. The fibers come off the cocoon. It takes 2000 to 3000 cocoons to make a pound of silk. It was discovered in Xia County, China between 4000 and 3000 BC. China, India, Uzbekistan, Brazil are the countries producing it at large scale. Thailand, Romania, Japan are also in a queue but the people's republic of china is a larger producer of silk and produces almost 75% of the world's silk production. Germany is not producing silk but they are the larger consumer of silk.
