The species used for nearly all commercial silk is Bombyx mori. and they are highly "host specific" meaning the organism (the symbiont) depends upon one particular species of plants, animal, or insect for its host, and they will only eat Mullberry leaves.

What is transgenic silkworm?
A transgenic silkworm is one that has been genetically modified to possess specific traits or characteristics, such as producing silk with enhanced properties or incorporating foreign genes for research purposes. This can be achieved through the introduction of targeted genetic material into the silkworm's DNA using techniques like gene editing or transgenesis.
Where is the salivary glands of the silkworm?
The salivary glands of the silkworm are located in the head region, specifically near the mouthpart. These glands are responsible for producing silk proteins, which the silkworm secretes to create its silk cocoon.

Can the relationship between the silkworm and the mulberry plant be considered commensolism?
The relationship between the silkworm and the mulberry plant is best described as mutualism rather than commensalism. Silkworms feed exclusively on mulberry leaves, which benefits them as a food source, while the mulberry plant does not receive a direct benefit or harm from the silkworms. In mutualism, both species benefit, but in this case, only the silkworm gains an advantage from the relationship. Therefore, it does not fit the definition of commensalism, where one species benefits while the other is neither helped nor harmed.
