The funnel of a tornado is caused by condensation, due to the pressure drop and resulting temperature drop inside it. Temperature and pressure also decrease with increasing altitude, making it easier for condensation to occur and causing the funnel to be wider at the top. At the bottom, the pressure and temperature may only be low enough for condensation at the very center of the tornado.
