How does a rope have to be to be called a rope?
Multiple strands. A rope must consist of more than one strand formed together in some way to provide more strength. However, if the rope is small it is may be called cord, cordage, string, or yarn as it is still not necessarily rope. If the rope is large, it is more often referred to as cable. If the rope is in use, it is more often properly called a line.

What is sport spun yarn?
I think you are asking about Sport weight yarn. Yarn can be divided into "weights" which refer to the diameter of the yarn. Yarn Council of America is attempting to standardize this system of weights (which really doesn't have to do with the actual ounces, pounds, grams or kilograms). Therefore, a Sport-weight yarn would be one that could be called "Fine" (vs a lace or superbulky yarn), or #2-sized yarn or that it generally has 23-26 stitches per 4 inches (a standard gauge length and height), horizontally. You can find more information by following the link I have attached to this answer.

Is string considered as rope?
Maybe. Technically identical to rope in most cases except its size. String, twine, cord, and yarn are typically made by laying up multiple strands to produce a "rope". However, although its construction is typically identical to rope, its small size keeps it properly referred to as cordage, string, twine, etc.
