Biodegradable Materials - are capable of being broken down especially into innocuous products by the actions of living things. Examples are:
Bacteria are surprisingly adaptive organisms and can biodegrade a very wide range of materials which would not ordinarily be thought of as biodegradable. As bacteria can "eat" them they can be put into the biodegradable class as well.
It is fairly common knowledge that some bacteria adapt to eat heavy hydrocarbons from oil spills and are used to clean up this type of environmental problem. Similar bacteria can even eat asphalt in a high concentration of sodium chloride. Deep sea bacteria near black smokers (volcanic vents) consume toxic sulfides as a source of energy. Some bacteria even eat iron and sulphur compounds. Examples are Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans (also known as. Thiobacillus ferrooxidans) and Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans (also known as Thiobacillus thiooxidans or Thiobacillus concretivorus) excreting iron and sulfuric acid.

A material is biodegradable if it can be broken down by the biological processes. Plants, as well as animal matter are examples of something that is biodegradable, because it can be broken down and absorbed back into the environment.
YES Silk is a biodegradable material as it mixes with soil easily
yes
No
A biodegradable is a material which is capable of being decomposed by biological activity.
An item that is not biodegradable is something that cannot be easily broken down by living organisms. A usual can is aluminum and this material is not biodegradable.
A cloth bag is an example of non-biodegradable waste.
There are many biodegradable plastics that are invented.

Any substance that can be decomposed by bacterial action is referred to as biodegradable. For example, plastic is not biodegradable but paper is a biodegradable material.
