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.
