Fiber crops are grown for their fiber, which is used in making textiles, ropes, twine, and similar materials. The principal fiber plants of the United States are cotton, flax, and hemp. Cotton is by far the most important of the fiber plants, and its great acreage and value give to the fiber its high rank in importance. Ramie, jute, and sisal are also sources of fiber.  3, record 1, English, - fiber%20crops

On peut les grouper en deux catégories : d'une part, le coton et la ramie, d'autre part, les fibres dures et spéciales : jute, dak, sisal, chanvre de manille, kapok, etc.  2, record 1, French, - plantes%20textiles
