Detailed Solution

The rearing of silkworms for silk production is called sericulture.
Sericulture, also known as silk farming, is the cultivation of silkworms for the production of silk. Although several commercial silkworm species exist, Bombyx mori is the most widely used and extensively studied silkworm. Silk was thought to have been invented in China during the Neolithic period. Silk fibres are exceedingly silky and glossy and are frequently utilized in the textile industry. Sericulture is the practice of raising silkworms for the purpose of making silk.
