Solution:
The procedure used to separate cotton balls from their seeds is ginning.The term comes from a cotton gin, invented by Eli Whitney in 1794. In modern ginning, the cotton is first dried to remove moisture, then cleaned to remove any burs, stems, leaves, or other foreign matter. Ginning involves separating the cotton fibres from the cotton seeds or debris. Additionally, it aids in cleaning up pollutants like dust, tiny stones, wood chips, etc. The cotton with seeds in its balls is first harvested from the field. The gin is then used to process it.
