cotton
Tee shirt material
Cotton is a soft, fluffy fiber that grows around the seeds of cotton plants, harvested and spun into thread for textiles.
Cotton fabric is lightweight and breathable: a cotton shirt, cotton sheets.
The plant itself is also called cotton.
To cotton to something is to take a liking to it: I never cottoned to his way of doing things.
