Rearing of silkworm for the production of silk is called sericulture. Silk is formed from the special glands of the larvae of the silk moth and they form the cocoon. These cocoons are boiled in water to extract the silk. Mulberry silkworm, Tussar silkworm, and the Muga silkworm are the major varieties of the silkworm.
