How silk is obtain from silkworm?

Silk is obtained from silkworms through a process called sericulture. The most commonly used silkworm is the Bombyx mori, which spins a cocoon made of silk threads during its pupal stage. To harvest the silk, the cocoons are collected and boiled or steamed to kill the pupa and soften the silk fibers, allowing them to be unwound into long threads. These threads are then spun and woven into silk fabric.
