Velcro is a hook-and-loop fastening system that consists of two components: a strip of fabric with tiny hooks and another with tiny loops. It is reusable, adjustable, and easy to use. Velcro provides a secure closure that is often used in place of buttons, zippers, and laces.

Velcro is typically made of nylon or polyester, which are not affected by water. So, if you put Velcro in water, it will remain unchanged and will not be damaged. However, it might take longer to dry, and the hook and loop attachments may not stick as well until fully dried.
Can I attach a piece Velcro to the back of a cell phone (plastic?) with Elmer's glue?
Velcro was inspired by burdock burrs, which have tiny hooks that stick to fur and clothing. The inventor of Velcro, George de Mestral, observed this natural phenomenon and used it as the basis for creating a fastening system. Thus, the link between Velcro and plants is through the inspiration drawn from the burdock burrs' ability to cling onto other surfaces.
