kapok
Kapok is a type of tropical tree native to Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean, also grown in Southeast Asia, known for its seed pods which contain a cotton-like fiber. This light, water-resistant fiber is often used as a stuffing material in furniture, mattresses, and insulation, due to its buoyancy and resistance to water. The tree, also known as Java cotton, Java kapok, or silk-cotton tree, can grow up to 70 meters tall and is considered one of the largest trees in the world.
Chambers 20th Century Dictionary
