The cotton is picked with a cotton picker machine and put into big cotton trailers. After the field is picked (it takes 3-4 runs through the field to get all the cotton off the bolls) the trailers are hooked up to trucks and the raw cotton is taken to the gin. At the gin the trailers are put under a big vacuum that sucks up the raw, dirty cotton. The cotton is cleaned, seeds removed, and stems, leaves taken out. It is then packed into big bales and stacked up.

Cotton comes from a plant. The plants are harvested, and the product is transported by truck to factories for processing.
The cotton bols are harvested and then carded to align fibres and remove cotton seeds. The fibres are then spun into cotton thread by twisting the fibres around each other in a spinning machine. The threads are then loaded on to a weaving frame and woven into cloth. The cloth is washed, bleached and ironed.
No. Cotton plants are reproduced through their seeds. Commercial cotton -- the fibre -- is harvested from the cotton bolls what grow on the shrub.
Cotton picking is pulling the soft cotton out of the hard boll that has opened when the cotton is ready to be harvested. Cotton pulling is harvesting the cotton by pulling the entire opened boll, with the cotton in it.

It was harvested by hand- by plucking the pod of cotton fiber from the plant. Extremely hard work.
That's like asking what chemicals are in Oxygen...cotton is it's own material, harvested from plants.

Yes. Cotton is made of cellulose, which is a natural polymer.
