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.
Bulb's filament are wounded into a coil.
the filament is neither too thick nor too light
Fibers of the conduction system of the heart is called Purkinje fibers
Pirkinje Fibers
because when they are first switched on a large surge of electrical current flow through a cold filament. When you first switch on the bulb the resistance is small, so you get a current surge which breaks the weakened filament. The filament is weakened by repeated heating and cooling from the bulb being turned on and off; which makes it brittle.
Filament fibers are long continuous strands that are composed of materials such as nylon, polyester, or rayon. They are produced through a process called extrusion, where the material is forced through a spinneret to create long, uniform fibers. Filament fibers are commonly used in textiles for their strength and durability.
Sliding filament mechanism
for monofilament filament, the round diameter is about 214 micron for multi filament yarn depends to cross section of fibers and the rate of twisting

Jute is classified as a staple fiber. This means that instead of being one continuous length (filament), jute fibers are short in length and are spun or twisted together to form yarns for weaving.
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.
The Filament
The main difference between polyester staple fiber yarn and polyester filament yarn is that polyester staple fiber yarn is made up of chemicals. Polyester filament yarn contains both man-made and natural fibers.
The stamen, or to be more specific, the microsporangia.
Linen is a staple fiber, derived from the flax plant. It is a natural fiber used to create various textile products like clothing, bedding, and home furnishings. The long fibers in linen contribute to its durability and strength.
Filament
Filament was made from plastic. The filament was very stable and smooth.
