Natural and synthetic fibres both have advantages and disadvantages; whereas synthetic fibres are produced using chemicals, natural fibres are derived from plants and animals and are valued in the textile industry for various factors.
There are two types of fibres which are soluble fibres and insoluble fibres. Both these fibres are necessary for our body as they help in digestion and prevent diseases.
Soluble fibres are fibres which absorb water and turn into gel consistency during the process of digestion.
