Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Rayon is also known as artificial silk because its properties resemble silk. Rayon is manufactured in industries by wood pulp, but original silk is produced by a silkworm which takes a lot of time and effort. It is produced by chemically processing cellulose or wood pulp. Although rayon is derived from wood pulp, a natural resource, it is nevertheless a man-made fibre. Hence, the statement is true.
