Question

12. Say whether the following statements are true or false. Correct the false statements.

(v). Retting is used to get wool fibres.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

• Jute fibre is derived from the jute plant's stem. A sticky or gummy material binds jute fibres together naturally.
• Retting is the process of rotting the jute stems in water to remove the sticky material and separate the jute fibre.
• Therefore, retting is used to get jute fibres.

Hence the given statement is false.
