Plastic is durable and will ensure that electric current does not pose a threat to anyone. Papers may get torn thus leaving the wires exposed. A piece of cloth can also get wet and become a hazard as it will allow electric current to flow through it.

What is an advantage of wrapping wires in plastic rather then paper or cloth?
well if there is a spark or a power surge, then the spark could ignite the cloth or paper. plus the plastic not only protect the wires from rain, rats (mostly), etc., it doesn't conduct electricity so you can handle the wires without electrocuting yourself. :)
