Because nylon is a strong fiber that can hold a strong amount of weight
First off, there are static and dynamic ropes. Static ropes do not stretch and are mostly used for rappelling, hauling, fixed lines, and probably some other stuff I do not know about. This is because none of these activities involve large forces - such as what would be created during a fall. Dynamic ropes stretch, and are the main type of rope used for rock climbing. This is because they stretch to absorb the shock of the climbing rope. In fact, if I remember correctly, some rock climbing ropes can stretch to as much as 30% more than it's original length. Dynamic ropes come in a wide range of diameters and can also be divided into three categories - single ropes, half ropes, and twin ropes. One would choose a certain diameter and type of rope based on the activity they plan on doing.
Hemp. Climbing ropes were "borrowed" from the naval professions.
Nylon fibre was strong, elastic and light. It was lustrous and easy to wash. So the ropes are made up of nylon. Parachutes also made up of nylon.

Nylon is used for making:nylon stockings and socks(because it has good elasticity)nylon toothbrushesgarments(because it is wear resistant)to make ropes(including those used during rock climbing), tents, fishing nets and parachutes(because it is very strong)to make combs,zip fasteners and machine parts
Nylon was used to make materials in the war such as parachutes and ropes.
In this day and age, yes. Strong ropes are usually made of many braided pieces of nylon, which are then braided with braids of the same size to make your rope. You get the idea ; )
Mountain climbers use different types of climbing ropes depending on the types of mountain they climb with. Expedition climbing like mount Everest for example has fixed ropes that are readily available for climbers.
it is easy to cut but wont rip
