Spiders cause no damage in the household. However, all cobwebs are of spider origin. Cobwebs usually become noticeable when the web is abandoned and collects house dust.
"Cobwebs come from spiders, even if you do not see the spider. Indeed,
there are quite a number of arthropods that can produce a sort of silk
similar to that produced by spiders. For example, silkmoths or other
butterflies produce a silk that is involved in some aspect of
reproduction or development. The silk production may be used to
produce a shelter for the eggs or for the pupae, e.g.
"Cobwebs," as they are commonly known, are built by spiders. I found a picture of a typical abandoned cobweb on the internet. Each spider species has its own pattern of weaving. Some spider species do not produce webs at all - jumping spiders, for example.Some species build a very regular web every morning, destroying it in
the evening again.
Why do you never see a spider in it? You are too late. Fresh webs are nearly invisible. When you see a web easily it is already covered with dust and abandoned."

A web is formed by a spider. The spider produces the silk in its abdomen where it spins it out. The shape of webs are determined by the type of spider, most spiders have their own variations of webs, though they may be similar no two are exactly alike.
A cobweb is just a web abandoned by a spider and collects dust to give it the visible portion we can see readily without looking really hard for it.

It is the web from a tiny spider known as a cob spider. They are commonly found around cobs, such as corn cobs.
