Natural materials are by definition biodegradable. That means that cotton, wool, linen and silk fulfill this criterion. Cotton and linen are cellulose based (a polysaccharide) while wool and silk are made of protein types )wool is made of keratin as is human hair). Of the others only certain types of polyesters are biodegradable such as for example polylactic acid. What is commonly labeled as polyester in garments is not biodegradable.

What are filament fibers?
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.
What produces fibers found in the connective tissue?
