Why would you assume that an isolated colony is a pure colony of that microorganism?

Because bacterial cells reproduce and form identical daughter cells. Therefore, a single cell that is isolated away from the rest of the mixed bacterial culture will reproduce a colony of cells identical to itself. You will know that it is only that certain type of bacteria with none others mixed in, or pure :)

Why can a single colony on a plate be used to start a culture?

The colony started from one single microbe that divided and divided until it formed what we call a colony of all the same bacteria. By selecting that colony we can be sure that its is pure and will grow only into a pure culture. Be sure to select on that is isolated so that you will not pick up a contaminate.
