> rope debate

This hinges on if rope is a catch all category for smaller bands, strings and other things woven into a stronger bound or if a silk, string, threads, etc, might be separate categories from rope. If spider's silk is not a fabric does that mean it is a rope?

Glancing around different definitions:
https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/rope
> (a piece of) strong, thick string made of long twisted threads: A sailor threw a rope ashore and we tied the boat to a post. a coil of rope 


https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/rope
> : a large stout cord of strands of fibers or wire twisted or braided together


> : b a long slender strip of material used as rope


> : a row or string consisting of things united by or as if by braiding, twining, or threading


It seems like rope itself might be a type of string depending on whom you ask.
