Cords are a type of material used for a variety of purposes. PANTS, twines, and ropes are all examples of cords. PANTS are a type of cord made from woven fabric, usually cotton or polyester. Twines are cords made from two or more strands of yarn or thread twisted together. Ropes are cords made from fibers such as hemp, jute, or nylon that are twisted together to form a thicker, stronger cord. All three types of cords can be used for a variety of tasks, such as tying, binding, and securing objects.
