Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
Rearing silkworms for obtaining silk is called sericulture while silviculture is caring and developing forests. Silk is an animal fibre produced by the silkworm. Silk fibres are soft and lustrous. Silk is a natural protein fibre that can be woven into textiles in some forms. Silk is a protein fibre composed primarily of fibroin that is produced by certain insect larvae to form cocoons. The most well-known silk is made from the cocoons of captive-reared mulberry silkworm larvae Bombyx mori.
The correct statement would be, “Rearing of silkworms for obtaining silk is called sericulture”.
