Solution
Explanation: 1.5 Marks
Reason: 1.5 Marks
The ethical harvesting of silk by not boiling the cocoons along with the silkworms inside but instead allowing the silkworms to become full grown Bombyx mori moths is called peace silk.
It is named peace silk because in this method the silkworms are allowed to emerge from their cocoons naturally, and die a normal death instead of being killed in a cauldron of boiling water. So it is a peaceful method of silk culture.
