Question

why rayon is known as poor man's silk​

Answer 1

Answer:

Rayon is an artificial fiber made from cellulose ( mostly wood, sugar cane waste, waste cotton, etc. ) and is a lot cheaper than natural silk which is made from saliva of silk worms cultivated mostly in China. Since it looks and feels like natural silk but is a lot cheaper more people can afford it and hence it is called poor man's silk.

Explanation:

Rayon: Rayon was discovered towards the end of the nineteenth century. It was made by chemical treatment of wood pulp and was the first synthetic fibre. Rayon is similar to silk but is cheaper than silk. Hence, rayon is also called 'poor man's silk'.
