No. The 'silkworm' is the caterpillar of the domesticated silkmoth which feeds on the leaves of the white mulberry plant.Farmers grow the plant and feed the leaves to the silkworms which are kept in flat baskets in their houses.Thus far form living in dirt, silkworms live in baskets and are cared for by silkworm farmers.see related link below for more information.
No; the plant is harmed by the silkworm. pinche silkworm joto lolz!
The silkworm feeds mainly on the leaves of the mulberry tree. Silk growers provide their charges with fresh leaves daily to keep them growing and happy.

Silkworms are the larvae of any number of species of moths, collectively called Silk Moths. The species used for nearly all commercial silk is Bombyx mori. and they are highly "host specific" meaning the organism (the symbiont) depends upon one particular species of plants, animal, or insect for its host, and they will only eat Mullberry leaves.
The primary food of the seri silkworm, also known as the Antheraea mylitta, is the leaves of the sal tree (Shorea robusta). They also feed on the leaves of other plants, such as oak and certain species of mulberry. The quality and type of foliage significantly influence the silk produced by these silkworms. Proper nutrition is crucial for their growth and the production of high-quality silk.
=== Chlorophyll === It is not simply a dye to make the leaves green. Chlorophyll is the substance which allows the plant to feed itself.
They protect the plant from organisms that may want to eat the plant's leaves.
The leaves of the lupin plant can be eaten by various insects such as aphids, caterpillars, and leafhoppers. Additionally, some mammals like deer may also feed on lupin leaves if they enter the plant's habitat.
The larva of the silkworm, known as the silkworm caterpillar (Bombyx mori), is the juvenile stage of the silk-producing moth. These larvae primarily feed on mulberry leaves and are essential for silk production, as they spin cocoons made of silk fibers during their pupation stage. Silkworm larvae are notable for their rapid growth and transformation, ultimately becoming adult moths that emerge from the cocoons. The silk harvested from these cocoons has been highly valued for centuries in textile production.
