Jute is a tall, hardy plant whose bast fiber is processed into strong, coarse threads used for twine, rope, and burlap. The term also denotes the fiber itself and the fabric made from it. Commonly grown in tropical regions, jute fibers are valued for their durability and biodegradability, making them a staple in textiles and packaging. In general usage, “jute” refers to both the plant and its fiber.
