Answer:

Sisal, cotton, jute and manila

Step-by-step explanation:

Because of the natural fibers, the rope is soft and pliable but this results in very low strength and makes the rope susceptible to damage by abrasion (the natural composition is not adapted to being altered). Most ropes are made with plastic-based materials (ex. nylon, polypropylene) for durability.
