Best Answer

Cotton is a natural "material" from which many "fabrics" are made, such as denim, broadcloth, and interlock knits.

Cotton is a soft, staple fiber that grows in a form known as a boll around the seeds of the cotton plant (Gossypium sp.), a shrub native to tropical and subtropical regions around the world, including the Americas, India and Africa. The fiber most often is spun into yarn or thread and used to make a soft, breathable textile, which is the most widely used natural-fiber cloth in clothing today. The English name, which began to be used circa 1400, derives from the Arabic qutn, meaning cotton.
