Silkworms are needed to make silk. A silkworm is basically a caterpillar-like creature that makes a silk cocoon around itself so that it can turn into a moth. Hence, thread from a little cocoon. Thread is the primary meaning but if you see this as a component of another kanji go with Spiderman as the mnemonic alias.
