Best Answer

Silk is the material produced by the silk worm to make its cocoon. The silkworm that makes the best quantity of silk is the mulberry silkworm. Shortly before the silkworm is going to eat its way through the silk of the cocoon, the worm is killed by humans so the cocoon can be unraveled into a single thread.
