Silk thread is obtained from Cocoon.
Explanation:
Silk is a natural protein fibre that is obtained from the cocoon of the silkworm. The silkworm is the larva or caterpillar of the silk moth. The process of obtaining silk from the cocoon is called sericulture or silk farming. The cocoon is made up of a single thread of silk that can be up to 900 meters long. The cocoon is boiled or treated with steam to kill the silkworm inside and to make the silk thread easier to unravel. The silk thread is then spun and woven into silk fabric. Silk is a valuable and luxurious fabric that has been used for thousands of years in clothing, home furnishings, and other decorative items.
