Raw cotton is a natural fiber obtained from the seed hairs of the cotton plant (Gossypium). It is one of the most widely used and important natural fibers in the textile industry. Here is a description of raw cotton material:

1. Source: Raw cotton is harvested from the cotton plant, primarily from the cotton bolls or seed capsules that develop after the plant flowers and matures. Cotton is grown in various regions around the world, with major producers including the United States, China, India, and Pakistan.

2. Appearance: Raw cotton typically consists of fluffy, white or off-white fibers. The exact color may vary depending on the cotton variety and growing conditions. The fibers are fine, soft, and usually about 1 to 2.5 centimeters in length.

3. Fiber Structure: Cotton fibers are composed primarily of cellulose, a complex carbohydrate. They have a twisted, ribbon-like structure, which gives them strength and flexibility. This twisted structure also allows them to absorb and retain moisture, making cotton comfortable to wear in various climates.
