From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.

Knots are used to fasten and secure material such as string or rope to itself or something else. Due to England's strong naval tradition, the English language has a large technical vocabulary for describing knots. Of relevance here, a bend is a knot used to attach two pieces of line together, and a hitch is a knot used to attach a piece of line to rigid object.
