Solution
Jute
Explanation:
Retting is a process used in the production of jute fibres. In this process, jute stems are soaked in water (usually stagnant or slow-moving) for several days to allow bacterial action that loosens the fibers from the woody stem. After retting, the fibres are stripped, washed, and dried for use in making ropes, sacks, and mats.
