Cotton is a complex fibrous material. The question clearly suggests that information is required for a school assignment. While it is unlikely that anyone here will do homework for you, consider the following important factors that should form the basis of an essay:
- Fiber length of raw cotton
- Fiber alignment of raw and processed cotton
- Characteristics of water absorption
- Characteristics of fiber grouping and the effect of ingress of water on size
- The make up of typical cotton fibers and propensity to absorb or release water.
Just research each point, write a paragraph on each one and your essay just needs an introduction and a summary.
