Why do cotton clothes sometimes shrink  when washed?please answer it as fast as possible to me

"There are two kinds of shrinkage. Progressive shrinkage occurs when
the fiber itself shrinks. Wool fiber shrinks a little more each time
it is washed, which is why wool is usually dry cleaned. Relaxation
shrinkage is when the fabric shrinks. It is caused by the tension
applied to yarns and fabrics during construction. The tension is
released when the fabric is washed or steam pressed, causing it to
shrink to its natural size. Most cotton fabric shrinkage occurs during
the first wash."

Dear student,
Because cotton has pores in it and it has air in the pores. When it is dipped in water all the air comes out of the cotton in the form of bubbles, causing the cotton to shrink.

Cotton shrinks because of the tension that is applied to its yarn and fabrics during the construction of the clothing. ... This is why most cotton clothing will shrink during its first washing. The best way to avoid shrinkage is to wash them by hand or to use cold water and the delicate cycle of your washing machine.
