Because they have collagen fibers :)

304 Stainless has a tensile strength of about 75,000 psi. Its yield strength is about 30,000 psi. Tensile strength is the amount of force required to tear or pull apart the metal. Yield strength is the amount of force required to begin to distort or bend the metal.
The reinforcment will have little or no effect on compressive strength. It will however impact tensile strength. It depends on the concrete mix design and amount of reinforcment, what the tensile strength impacts will be. The question needs to be a lot more detailed to provide a specific answer.
No, because you can pull them apart. Materials like steel, that cannot easily be pulled apart, have a high tensile strength. The tensile strength of a material is the maximum amount of tensile stress that it can be subjected to before failure. Having what can I think can best be described as a rubbery consistency, gummi worms (the word gummi comes from the German for 'rubber') can be easily pulled apart by hand and therefore have a very low tensile strength.
Tensile strength is the maximum amount of stretching or pulling a metal can withstand before it fails or is permanently damaged. Essentially, tensile strength is the measure of how much tension the metal can resist. It serves as a good point of reference for how a metal part will perform in an application.
ISO 2062 e350 is a specification of steel tensile strength. It is the amount of force needed to pull for it to break.
Tensile strength is the capacity to resist tension; in other words, if you pull on both ends of an object (typically a wire), the tensile strength tells us how much force it can withstand before it snaps into two pieces.
The greatest stress that a material can resist before breaking is called the ultimate tensile strength. It is the maximum amount of stress a material can withstand without breaking under tension. Different materials have different ultimate tensile strengths, and it is an important property to consider for designing and engineering structures.

A rope is made out of many weak strands, woven together to provide a higher tensile strength. If you did the same using a large amount of spider silk, you would have a silk rope with a higher tensile strength than not only a regular rope, but also steel cable.
You cut representative samples and pull them on your tensile tester, a machine that grabs the ends of a sample and gradually pulls while you watch the amount of force being applied. If your steel is crappy, you'll found out pretty quickly.
