Thank you in advance.

Each are immature forms of insects eg:
Butterfly/moth - caterpillar.
Beatle - grub
Maggot - fly
Nyph - grasshopper
Silkworms are immature moths. The moth lays eggs, which hatch into caterpillars. Later the caterpillars undergo metamorphosis - changing into moths.
A nymph may also refer to a spirit or goddess which takes the form of a woman, usually found in nature such as in a tree or pond.

Maggot - baby fly 🪰
Grub - baby beetle 🪲
Nymph - baby that looks like a smaller version of the adult (spider 🕷)
Actually none of these answers are correct.
“A silkworm will emerge from the egg.”
“A silk moth will emerge from the cocoon (or pupa).”
“A silkworm is a caterpillar (or larva).”

Wow, that question is very specific!
A nymph is an immature insect that does not pupate (weave a shell around itself) to become an adult? Like a baby dragonfly is called a nymph, I think.
A grub is an adult small squishy insect. Kind of gross.
A maggot is specifically a baby fly. Considered very gross, because maggots swarm and eat dead flesh and rotting fruit.
I think the answer is caterpillar? A silkworm starts as a larva (caterpillar) and then becomes a pupa before finally becoming a moth. Pupa isn't an option and none of the other answers fit as well as caterpillar so.
