Tapa cloth is obtained from the plants of which one of the following family ?

Explanation

Tapa cloth is a traditional barkcloth made primarily in the islands of the Pacific Ocean (Polynesia, Melanesia, and Micronesia). It is obtained from the inner bark of certain trees, most notably the Paper Mulberry tree (Broussonetia papyrifera). This plant belongs to the Moraceae family, which also includes other species sometimes used for tapa, such as Breadfruit (Artocarpus altilis) and various Fig trees (Ficus species). The process involves stripping the bark, soaking it, and beating it into thin, felt-like sheets. Other families mentioned, like Asclepiadaceae (milkweeds), Graminae (grasses), and Malvaceae (mallows), are not the sources of traditional tapa cloth.
