No, cotton and rayon are entirely different. Cotton is a material that comes from the cotton plant, whereas rayon is a synthetic material that is related to plastic.

Why rayon is not considered as true synthetic fibre?

Rayon is usually termed a synthetic fibre despite the fact it is made from exactly the same substance (cellulose) as cotton, which is termed a natural fibre. In fact, a considerable amount of rayon is made directly from cotton by reconstituting it and drawing it into threads. Much of it is also made from the cellulose of spruce trees.

How do you identyfy cotton yarn and viscose yarn?

If you had a length of cotton yarn and a length of viscose (or rayon, is another word for viscose), yarn and you were attempting to differentiate between the two, it is tricky. I would suggest that you wet both strands of yarn, and pull them. The rayon will stretch more and be less strong than the cotton. The rayon will also absorb more water than the cotton yarn.
