cotton definition and meaning

What is "cotton"?

Cotton is a soft, breathable, and versatile natural fiber that comes from the cotton plant. It is the most widely used textile fiber in the world and is commonly used to make a variety of clothing, including T-shirts, jeans, dresses, and bedding. Cotton is appreciated for its comfort, durability, and ease of care, as it can be washed and dried in a machine. Cotton can be woven into a variety of textures, from lightweight gauze to heavy twill, and can be dyed in a wide range of colors. Additionally, cotton can also be blended with other fibers, such as polyester or spandex, to give it added stretch, wrinkle resistance, or other desirable properties.
