Question

define terms: (a)spinning (b)combing (c)retting

Answer 1

Dear student,

(a) Spinning: Cotton fibres obtained by the process of ginning are then spun into yarns. The process by which yarns are obtained from fibers is known as spinning.

(b) Combing: The process by which the seeds are separated from cotton by combing.

(c) Retting: When the jute plant is in the flowering stage, it is harvested. After harvesting, it is kept submerged in water for a few days. During this period, the stem of the plant rots and the fibres (present in the stem) remain. The process by which fibres are obtained from the stem of the plant is known as retting.
