Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Silkworms only consume mulberry leaves. By keeping the worms in a controlled environment, protecting them from ants, mice, and disease, and feeding them mulberry leaves, the entire process can be controlled. Mulberry accounts for 95% of global silk production. This silk is produced by the silkworms of the moth Bombyx mori, which feed on the leaves of the Morus Indica plant. Mulberry plants are evergreen bushes with widely spread branches.
