Solution

  • Silk is an animal fiber obtained from the cocoon of the silkworm.
  • Cocoon is the silky coating made by the silkworm (or caterpillar) of the silk moth. Silkworms create cocoons to protect their pupa development.
  • The pupa is a stage in the silk moth's life cycle when the caterpillar (or silkworm) is enclosed in a rigid cocoon made of silk fibres.
