Solution

The fruits of the cotton plant (cotton balls) are about the size of lemon. The bolls burst out and the seeds covered with cotton fibres are seen. These fibres are converted into yarns. These are woven to make cotton fibres. The fibres are converted to fabrics by knitting and this fabric is used for making clothes.
