How is silk obtained from silk worm? Explain. |
|
Answer» Female silk worm lays eggs on mulberry leaves. These eggs hatch into caterpillar larvae. Larvae develop by eating leaves of this plant. Caterpillars form a thread structure (cocoon) around themselves. In cocoon, caterpillar changes to pupa stage. Before the cocoon changes to adult, it is kept in sun or hot water or steam to obtain silk. |
