Spider webs are made of a spider's silk, a protein that it produces and squeezes out of glands in its body. The silk comes out as liquid but quickly hardens. Spiders produce various types of silk that come out of different glands and each one has its own purpose. Some is used for making the egg sacs, some for making the webs, and some for wrapping up prey.
