Solution:

Cotton is used for cotton clothing. Since ancient times, Indians have dressed in cotton. From the Indus Valley sites, numerous cotton garments have been discovered. The Rig Vedic Hymns also make reference to cotton.

Wool is formed of fibre that is composed of certain skin cells. It comes from rabbits, yaks, goats, and sheep. The Egyptian, Babylonian, and Indus Valley civilizations left the earliest traces of the usage of woollen clothing.

The fibres that silkworms prepare are used to make silk cloth. Mulberry trees are used to raise silkworms. The first silk that was harvested in China was brought to India during later years.

Mulberry, alcohol, rubber, raisins, fat, and other plants are used to make artificial fibres. Among the many artificial fibres, nylon, polyester, and rayon are only a handful.
