Cotton

Cotton, often referred to as “white gold,” is one of the most important crops in the world, deeply intertwined with human history, agriculture, and global economies. Cotton (Gossypium spp.) is a natural fiber derived from the seed hairs of the cotton plant. It belongs to the Malvaceae family and is primarily grown in warm climates. The plant produces bolls, which contain the fluffy fibers that are harvested and processed into textiles.
