cotton fiber
Soft plant thread
Cotton fiber is the soft, fluffy material harvested from the seedpod of the cotton plant, consisting of nearly pure cellulose.
These fibers are spun into thread and woven into fabric, making cotton one of the world's most important textile materials.
The length and quality of cotton fibers determine the grade: longer fibers produce finer, stronger fabrics.
