Question

37. Why coconut fibres are used in making ropes ?

Answer 1

• Coconut fibre is used to make mats and ropes, among other things.
• Coir, which is the fibrous layer between the inner hard shell and the outer coating of coconut is one of the few natural fibres that are resistant to saltwater damage and is relatively waterproof.
• Ropes are made from coconut fibres because they are strong enough to catch or tie.
