plant fiber (natural fiber, fiber, ... Materials (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Any fiber obtained from plant sources, including from the bark (flax, hemp, jute), stems or leaves (abaca, sisal), and seeds (cotton). One way in which plant fibers may be distinguished is that in general they will flame when exposed to fire while animal fibers will only char. |
