Question

Cotton fibre takes less time to absorb water as compared to polyester fibre.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Cotton is a natural fibre as it is obtained from cotton fruits or cotton balls.
Cotton fabrics contain tiny air pockets between the strands. These pockets can trap air or water.
Polyester is a synthetic fibre as it is made from chemicals. These fibres do not have tiny pockets to hold air or water. So, polyester takes a lot of time to absorb water.

Hence, cotton has high water absorbing capacity as compared to polyester.
