Question

2. State whether the following statements are true or false:

(f) Silk fibre is obtained from the stem of a plant.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

• Jute is a long plant fibre, obtained from the stems of the jute plant.
• Silk is a shiny and smooth animal fibre obtained from the cocoon of the silkworm.
• Hence jute fibre is obtained from the stem of a plant, not silk.

Thus, the given statement is false.
