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.
