Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
Silk is a natural fibre obtained from an insect called a silkworm. Thus we can say that silk is not a plant-based natural fibre. It is a natural animal fibre. Moreover, silk is a very expensive and shiny fibre that is more costly than other manmade fibres like jute and rayon.
The correct statement would be that silk  is natural animal fibre.
