Cotton

The English word ‘cotton’ derives from the Arabic word qutn or qutun. Cotton is a long unicellular seed fibre grown on the outer skin of the cotton seed to aid seed dispersal in natural conditions. These fibres vary from 10mm to 55mm in length and can be brown, as seen in wild varieties such as gossypium thurberi, or white in cultivated hybrid varieties.
