Spinnerets.
Reply:They glands are the silk glands, it comes from the spigots of the spinnerets in liquid form and hardens immediately, polymerizing as it is pulled out. It is the strongest fiber known. Web spiders produce different types of silk from four to seven abdominal glands: viscid or sticky silk form some. web frame threads form others, egg sac silk form still others.
Reply:I thought it was just called the silk glands, and they are in the spinnerettes.
