Parachutes are most commonly made of nylon. The term "ripstop nylon" used to be applied to the construction materials, but any more, it is "nylon" from which almost all chutes are made. During WWII parachutes were made of silk as nylon wasn't around yet.
To allow for steering and suspension movement.

Blanchard developed the first foldable parachute made from silk.
The parachute canopy is made up of panels.
Yes
The brake lines must be able to transmit considerable hydraulic pressure, so they are mostly made of steel. However, a flexible section must be included between the body and suspension to allow for steering and suspension movement
There is just one 'static line' which is connected to the pin (what holds the container closed) and then connected to the d-bag which the parachute is packed into.
A hemisphere design parachute typically consists of a canopy made of two semi-circular panels sewn together, a suspension line system connecting the canopy to the harness, a deployment bag to contain the parachute during packing, and a pilot chute used to deploy the main canopy. The parachute design ensures efficient deployment and proper inflation for a safe descent.
