The correct answer is Rayon.Key Points

  • Natural Fibres are obtained from plants, insects and worms.
  • Cotton, wool, linen and silk are examples of natural fibres.
    • Hence Rayon is not a natural fibre.
  • All fibres are stretched and twisted to form long threads called yarns.
  • This is called spinning.

Important Points

  • The yarn is woven on a machine called a loom to produce fabric. 
    • Cotton fibres come from the fruit of a cotton plant called a cotton boll.
    • Woollen fibres come from the fleece of sheep, rabbits and goats.
    • Silk fibres are obtained from the cocoon of silkworms.

Additional Information

  • Synthetic fibres
    • Fibres which are man-made are called synthetic fibres. Synthetic fibres are made in factories.
    • Rayon, terrycloth, terylene, and nylon are some popular synthetic fibres.
