Staple fibers are short, non-continuous fibers. All natural fibers, except silk, come in staple form.
Yarns that are spun from short fibres, like cotton. The staple is the length of the fibre, so you might say 'Egyptian cotton is better quality than Indian cotton because it has a longer staple.' Many artificial yarns are extruded, that is made like squeezing toothpaste from a tube, so they don't need to be spun to make a long thread.
Individual fibers are spun into yarn.

I'm not an expert, however broadly speaking there are two kinds of fibers used in making textiles. Relatively short fibers - such as wool fibers are categorized as "staple fibers." Fibers that are continuously extruded (and are therefore available in any length) are filament fibers. Silk, which has long fibers, but not quite any length falls into its own category.
The fibers are created in the form of monofilament, yarn, staple, or tow suitable for further manufacturing on spindles, looms, knitting machines, or other textile processing equipment.
ideally, the best way to do it is to use DMF ( dimethylformamide ) although sometimes sulfuric acid 75% would dissolve acrylic fibers.
The cellulosic manmade fiber industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing rayon and acetate fibers in the form of monofilament, yarn, staple, or tow.
Peace silk is also known as Ahimsa or Eri silk. It is a staple fiber, and is sometimes called vegetarian silk because the silk worm is not killed during harvesting.
Angora is a staple fiber because it is a natural fiber. All natural fibers, with the exception of silk, are in the staple form. Since angora comes from angora rabbits or angora goats, the fibers are sheared or pulled, and are not continuous.
Long staple cotton is primarily grown in regions with warm, humid climates such as Egypt, the United States (particularly in states like California, Arizona, and Texas), Peru, and parts of India. These regions provide the ideal conditions for long staple cotton varieties to thrive and produce high-quality fibers.
The main difference between polyester staple fiber yarn and polyester filament yarn is that polyester staple fiber yarn is made up of chemicals. Polyester filament yarn contains both man-made and natural fibers.
