Why are the cells responsible for hearing called mechanoreceptors?

the cells which receive the signal receive "mechanical stimulation". As fluid waves, propagated when sound waves interact with the ear, travel through the cochlea tiny hairs are moved, smaller/stiffer hairs moved = higher pitch, longer/looser hairs moved = lower pitch.
