A light cotton fabric probably doesn't have a nap. A nap is most noticeable on velvet where it looks different when you run your hand over it one way than the other way. The same is true with corduroy. If a fabric has a nap, it is important to sew pieces together with the nap going the same way. A light cotton fabric, such as a cotton knit or voile, does not have a nap.
What is a napped fabric?
'Nap' is a term used for fabric that has a 'pile' such as velvet, corduroy, and suede. In other words not smooth, but with a fuzzy, fur-like surface. When you sweep your hand across the fabric, the threads will stand up in one direction, and lay down in the other direction. When using fabric like this, you want all pattern pieces to have the 'nap' going the same direction, so you have to use extra care in laying them out. Usually you want the nap to lay down from the top of the garment towards the bottom.

What is the history of corduroy?
Corduroy was first used by kings and noblemen in France and in a few other countries in Europe. For that reason, it was called the "cloth of the king". It was used for the upper ajusted garment (pourpoint) of the king which was called in French "justaucorps". The last part of that word is pronounced "cor" and means "body". The other part of the word "...duroy" is two words in French. Those words mean "... of the king". Kings and noblemen had their pourpoint (to keep them warm) made of wide wale corduroy. Many french kings and Henry Tudor had often their pourpoint made in wide waled velvet close-fitted to the body. However the French don't use the word "corduroy" but "velours côtelé" which could be translated by the words "ribbed velvet". Only french canadians pronounce "corduroy" as french words "cor-du-roy" exactly as if they were saying "body of the king" (corps du roi). Since it was a durable fabric which could be made out of cotton, it was used for young men and workmen for a few centuries before denim became more popular in Europe and North America. Though is was made known as a fabric for kings, it became "the poor man's velvet" since it was used by workers, artists and students. Nowadays, manufacturers of corduroy use some other component with cotton so that corduroy is softer and no more a rugged fabric. It is now often used by designers for more sophisticated clothing though is it still used for work wear especially in some countries.
