Is silk is a polymer?

Silk is natural, not a man-made polymer. The silk is mainly obtained from the cocoons of the Mulberry Silkworm (Bombyx mori). When the caterpillar forms a pupae, it encases itself in a cocoon of fine silk thread. Before the adult moth emerges, the cocoon is steeped in hot water to kill the developing moth inside. The cocoon is then unravelled and is combined with several other silk threads to produce a strong silk thread that can be used to produce silk fabric.
