Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
A silkworm secretes fine filaments from the glands present on its head. They deposit the filaments around their bodies, completely covering themselves. This covering is known as a cocoon. The cocoon is placed in hot water to obtain silk fibre. There are different varieties of silk moths, and they feed on different leaves. Tussar silk, Muga silk and Kosa silk are types of silk with different textures, smoothness, shine, etc.
The correct statement would be, “The different silk types obtained by different silkworms”.
