Silk is non living, for it does not reproduce, respire, or metabolize.
It was once part of a living thing, the silkworm caterpillar, which spun the fibre of which the caterpillar made its cocoon.
From this cocoon the silk strand was unspun to give us the silk thread.

Was sand a living thing?
Sand is usually made of small particles of rock which were never alive or part of a living thing, although it is also possible to make sand out of sea shells, which are part of a living thing although they are not actually alive. Shells are a secretion of living things. No, sand was and never will be a living thing in my opinion. Maybe in evolution it was, but science is or equals observation. Since it has not been observed, it is not science. That is why evolution is still a theory.
