Give scientific reasons:Cotton fabrics, gunny bags, leather items and wooden items do not last long.

Answer»
  • Microscopic spores of fungi are present in the air. 
  • If there is sufficient moisture, spores germinate on cotton fabric, gunny bags, leather, wooden items etc. 
  • The fungal hyphae (fibres of the fungus) penetrate deep into the material to obtain nutrition and to reproduce. 
  • This causes the materials to wear and become weak. 
  • As a result, cotton fabric, gunny bags, leather and wooden items do not last long.
