The plant is a shrub native to tropical and subtropical regions around the world, including the Americas, Africa, and India. Cotton was independently domesticated in the Old and New Worlds. The fiber most often is spun into yarn or thread and used to make a soft, breathabletextile, which is the most widely used natural-fiber cloth in clothing today.Jute is one of the most affordable natural fibres and is second only to cotton in amount produced and variety of uses of vegetable fibres. Jute fibres are composed primarily of the plant materials cellulose (major component of plant fibre) and lignin (major components of wood fibre).Jute is a long, soft, shiny vegetable fibre that can be spun into coarse, strong threads. It is produced from plants in the genus Corchorus, which has been classified in the familyTiliaceae, or more recently in Malvaceae.
