The simple way to answer - Fibre optics use light to transmit and do not have/use any metallic medium where as 'Copper' cabling propagates an electrical signal, which is conductive and leaves it suceptable to pick up EMI.

Why the cables are twisted?

This helps reduce electromagnetic interference. One side of the cable may be nearer the source; if the cable is not twisted, the effects may accumulate. If it is twisted, the pattern alternates between voltage in one direction, and voltage in the opposite direction, so the interference will be cancelled, not completely, but to a great extent.This helps reduce electromagnetic interference.
