Answer: Silkworm

Sericulture is the practice of rearing silkworms for the production of raw silk.

In India, sericulture is one of the most important agro and forest-based cottage industry, earning a foreign exchange of Rs. 400 corers/annum and providing gainful employment to over six million people.

Silk was believed to have first been produced in China as early as the Neolithic Period.
