Why is it easier to tie a knot with cotton strings as compared to silk strings?

The whole goal with a knot is to create as much friction between each of the strings as possible. The greater the friction, the better the knot will hold. Silk string is very smooth as compared to the cotton string. So the friction produced when a cotton string is tied in a knot is greater than that when a knot tied with silk string. That is why a knot tied with cotton string will hold better than a knot tied with silk string.
