Which rope is made from a plant?

Which rope is made from a plant?

• A. Nylon
• B. Sisal
• C. Polypropylene
• D. Polyester

Answer: (B)

Rope materials fall into natural fibers from plants or animals and synthetic polymers. Plant-based ropes use natural fibers like sisal, which comes from the agave plant and has long, strong fibers suited for rope. The other options—nylon, polypropylene, and polyester—are all synthetic fibers derived from petroleum-based polymers, not plants. So sisal is the rope made from a plant.
