Cotton is a soft, staple fibre that grows in a form known as a boll around the seeds of the cotton plant, a shrub native to tropical and subtropical regions around the world, including the Americas, India and Africa, in which some cotton plants grow, they grow a green substance called cotton, at first it is green and forms a white coating once growing.
Starch is a polymeric complex carbohydrate, made from the simple carbohydrate monomer glucose.
Glucose can actually link together in several different ways to form different materials. In starch, it's mainly linked via a 1-4 alpha glycosidic linkage. When this is the only type of linkage in the polymer, you get a straight-chain polymer called amylose, which makes up around 1/4 to 1/5 of the total weight of the starch.
The remainder is amylopectin, which is essentially the same thing, with an occasional 1-6 alpha glycoside link thrown in as well, making it a branched polymer.
Glucose can also link via 1-4 beta glycosidic linkages. When that happens, you get cellulose. Most animals have enzymes to break the 1-4 alpha links, so they can get nutrition from starch, but very few are able to break the 1-4 beta link to get nutrition from cellulose (many herbivores actually rely on symbiotic bacteria to break the links for them... it turns out no animal with a backbone has the enzyme needed to do this).
This sounds like a question I had to answer for a science topic and I had to take a while to think about the answer. I came to the conclusion of Cellulose. I hope this helps you and if you have another question like this go to the simple and helpful website in the related links below.
The synthetic fibers often used in replace of cotton are nylon and rayon.
YAY! Go Crops. :)
Cotton is made of cellulose - a polymer, a polysaccharide made of linked D-glucose units.

Synthetic fibers release poisonous gases and heat, when burnt.
Tthere is no difference between manufactured and synthetic fibers. Manufactured literally means hand (manu as in manual) made (factured as in factory), and synthetic means artificial; not found in nature. Synthetic fibers are made.
They aren't.
The fibers which are made by man are the synthetic fibers.

The reason that insects attack natural fibers and not synthetic fibers is because natural fibers appeal to insects as food while they do not know what the f*ck synthetic fiber is.

Synthetic fibers are not natural. They are purely man made and can not be found in nature. Many synthetic materials are made by a process of synthesis. Fibers which aren't synthetic can be found in nature.
