Cotton is a soft, fluffy fiber that grows in bolls on cotton plants. It is used to make clothes, sheets, and other textiles. Cotton plants need lots of sunlight and warm temperatures to grow well.
生息地: Farms
The Cotton plant has green, lobed leaves and creamy yellow flowers that fade to pink or red. Its most unique feature is the fluffy white 'boll' that bursts open when ripe, revealing soft fibers around its seeds.

Cotton fibers are so strong, they're used to make banknotes too!
Cotton plants were first farmed over 7,000 years ago in Mexico!
Each cotton fiber is actually a tiny hollow tube, like a miniature straw!
The fluffy 'cotton ball' you see is called a boll, and it protects the seeds!
Cotton has lightweight, fluffy fibers that help its seeds catch the wind and float far away to find new places to grow.
The cotton boll acts like a tough, natural armor, keeping its precious seeds safe until they are ready to burst open.
Cotton can grow incredibly strong and soft fibers right on its seeds, which protect them and aid in dispersal.
