Multiple strands. A rope must consist of more than one strand formed together in some way to provide more strength. However, if the rope is small it is may be called cord, cordage, string, or yarn as it is still not necessarily rope. If the rope is large, it is more often referred to as cable. If the rope is in use, it is more often properly called a line.
