Making the world better, one answer at a time. Cotton is a plant. The seeds of the plant are contained in a roundish pod called a boll, and surrounded by a fibrous material. When immature, the bolls are green, and the fibrous material is wet. As the bolls mature, they turn black/brown, the fibrous material swells, and the bolls split open, after which the fibrous material dries. This is raw cotton.
This raw cotton has been ginned, but has not been carded. There are cotton seeds and sometimes small pieces of the cotton plant mixed in. Raw cotton is often used for stuffing or cushioning when a less expensive material is required, and it's acceptable to have some other plant matter besides the fiber.
