Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Wootz is a type of steel produced since ancient times in India by a crude method in small crucibles, using the oldest known process to produce molten steel. The word "wootz" seems to come from a bad pronunciation of work; the root word of the Tamil language for alloy is urukku. Another theory says that the word is a variant of uchcha or ucha ("higher"). According to one theory, the word ukku is based on the meaning "to melt, to dissolve". Ancient Indian steel is known as wootz steel. It has a homogeneous composition of 1–1.6 % carbon and can be heated and shaped into rods and used to craft items such as swords. It originated in India around the 6th century BC.
