Why do we call cotton bolls" instead of "cotton balls"?"
We use both words but for different meanings. There is a slight difference between them.
A Cotton BOLL is the dense roundish, fur clumps which grow on the stem of the cotton plants. Simply it’s the raw form of cotton.
A Cotton BALL is fine processed cotton that has been cleaned and formed into a spherical shape for household use.
