Silk is not made FROM animals, it is made by animals.

  I think they should have said creature, not animal. However, just is a plant. Simple as that.

Technically, a silk worm is not an animal but an insect.

  Scientifically, all insects are arthropods, which are all classified under the animalia (animal) kingdom.
