The present invention relates to a non-woven fabric (1) that is formed from a base part (10) that spreads out in a planar shape and from a plurality of projecting parts (12) that protrude in a thickness direction (Th) from the base part. Each of the projecting parts has a projecting surface part (12T). Each of the projecting surface parts is configured such that the fiber density of the projecting surface part increases toward one side in a prescribed direction that is a surface direction of the non-woven fabric.
