Yes, silk is made from the silk worms. The most common silkworms used to make silk are the larvae of the Bombyx mori, or domestic silkmoth. The process of making silk sarees involves the following steps:
Egg stage: Female moths lay eggs that hatch into larvae after about 10 days.
Larvae stage: The larvae are fed mulberry leaves for about 25–30 days.
Cocoon stage: The larvae spin cocoons around themselves using a protein secretion from their salivary glands.
Reeling: The cocoons are unwound to create silk threads.
Dyeing: The silk threads can be dyed before weaving.
Weaving: The silk threads are woven into sarees
