Answer

Different plant fibres are obtained from different parts of plants.

Cotton fibres are obtained from the cotton bolls, which grow around the seeds of the cotton plant. When the cotton fruit ripens, it bursts open and the soft cotton fibres become visible.

Jute fibres are obtained from the stem of the jute plant. The stem contains long, strong fibres that are separated and processed to make products such as ropes, sacks, and carpets.
