Wire made of many strands is 'cable'
A wire made of many strands is typically known as a stranded wire. This type of wire is composed of multiple smaller wires twisted or braided together, providing flexibility and resistance to fatigue from bending. Stranded wires are commonly used in applications where flexibility or vibration resistance is required.
This just means a wire with a solid central core, ie made from one solid length of copper or aluminium, as opposed to a wire made from many thin strands

Most of the current travels on the surface of the wire. The more strands the more surface area and the lower the effective resistance.
The description you show seems to match the description for 16AWG wire made up of 259 strands of 40AWG, Rope construction with bunch stranded groups. Similar to concentric for the groups of strands. The wire is made up of 7 Bunches of 37 strands of 40AWG strands to make a 16AWG wire. The description should be 16AWG(259/40) construction is 7x37/40. The SWG more than likely stands for Standard Wire Gauge. This construction is a high strand count which would make it flexible. You can learn more about stranding and view a wire gauge chart on the link below.
It really depends on who you ask and what group or specialist is making the recommendation, the kind of wire, how many head of cattle in the pasture and what type of fencing it is. The recommendations generally range from 3-6 strands of wiring in a cattle fence.

Electricity primarily travels along the outside of the conductor. So the more "strands" you have the better in most instances.
