Actually, it may technically be "Small Stuff" If it is less than 1 3/4" Circumference (~9/16 Dia.), otherwise line is the term.
Rope is Wire.
My guess is that it is a 3" line

I once heard a young woman say to a sailor, "Well, that's quite a line."

Rope is generic. Line is a rope for a specific purpose ie anchor line, dock line and a host of others.

I think it is, but I can check with someone. Matt

If the background was a corral with cows or horses . . . I'd call it a rope . . .
Since the background is nautical . . . I'd call it a line . . .

As a former merchant sailor, we'd call that "line". Big mooring line is "hawser". What land lubbers commonly call "cable", we'd call "wire rope"; "cable" carries electrical current, not mechanical load. Maybe others have different terms.

This posting has been an education for me, an enjoyable one. Thanks. Matt
