nylon cord
Plastic fiber rope
Nylon cord is a strong, flexible rope or string made from synthetic nylon fibers.
It resists rot, stretches under load, and handles weather well, making it popular for camping, boating, and general utility: I tied down the tarp with nylon cord.
Paracord is the most familiar type.
