the use of the silkworm is for making silk
A domesticated silkworm produces a single cocoon in its life cycle, which when unraveled can produce up to 3,000 meters of one strand of silk fibre.
The silkworm in a cocoon is thrown into boiling water to kill the silkworm. The silk is then untangled and processed into a stronger silk thread. If the silkworm is allowed to mature in the cocoon, it will make a hole (damaging the silk) as it emerges from the cocoon.
