Why does some spider spin such amazing webs?

Spiders make silk from a special liquid in their bodies. This liquid comes out of tiny holes and turns into a strong, sticky thread when it touches the air.

⭐ Bonus fact: Spider silk is one of the strongest natural materials on Earth, even stronger than steel of the same thickness!
