Answer 2

Silk has a long history and is still regarded as one of the most costly and opulent fabrics available today.

Explanation:

The Silk strand-making process includes Sericulture.

• The procedure of gathering silkworms and extracting the cocoon to obtain the materials is referred to as this. Female silk moths can lay anywhere from 300 to 500 eggs at a time. Silkworms are produced from these eggs, which are then kept in a controlled environment until they hatch into larvae (caterpillars).

• The silkworm will spin its silk cocoon by rotating its body in a figure-8 movement roughly 300,000 times, a procedure that will take 3 to 8 days if it is attached to a solid frame or tree. Each silkworm generates only one strand of silk, which is around 100 meters long and kept together by Sericin, a natural glue.
