Plants
Plants provide more textile fibers than animals or minerals. Plants such as cotton, flax, hemp, and bamboo are cultivated specifically for their fibers, which are used to make a wide range of textiles. These plant fibers are renewable and biodegradable, making them a more sustainable choice compared to animal-based fibers like wool or silk, and mineral-based fibers like asbestos.

Not all fibers are textile fibers. Textile fibers are specifically used to make fabrics and clothing, while other types of fibers can be used for various purposes such as industrial applications, construction materials, or in food products.
