It's so versatile that it's useful functions are only surpassed by duct tape.
OK, I took the easy way out on that.
Here's one that I bet most folks have not thought of - glue substitute. Yup, light it with a flame, get a melted blob collecting on the end of the cord, then touch it to the parts you want to stick together. Not the best glue around, but out in the middle of nowhere, it's hard to buy Elmer's.

I use it to make lanyards for knives and other survival type tools for one.... there are more uses than anyone could imagine. Alot of survival, military, and hunting/fishing applications.
Its selling point is its strength AND its suppleness... it rolls or folds up very small and easily fits in any pocket, even at lengths of 30 feet or more.
"Paracord
What are some of the many uses of paracord? "
Anything, you need lashed down, snared, tied up, or hog tied.
Only limited to your imagination.
Anyone who had been a grunt, has used it for bootlaces.
And securing things, to rucksacks. ETC.
Hey Ten,
I have done this before too.
Also have gotten, a couple burns this why. LOL

Heavy duty fishing line, cut back the outer shell and use the strands inside for trotlines, tie around empty one gallon jugs leaving a couple feet hangin down with a hook, the list goes on and on....... Kinda like duct tape and bailin wire.

Darn handy stuff to have on hand in general, a must for survival in my book.
Prusiking lines in an emergency or
doubled up as a bail out line for two or three story building, again in an emergency.
Bowstring
snares
inner cores woven into a fishing net
make your own bore-snake
inner cores as heavy sewing thread
You can tie a goose neck in each end of a poncho liner and have a hammock. I should warn you though, if you try this, make sure you have good knots. It took me a while and a few spills before I figured it out.
Also, learn to daisy chain it and you can have a full 100' length in a pack and never havew to deal with those tangled birdnests.
We were forced to use it as "idiot strings" if we forgot or lost a piece of equipment in tech school. There were guys with 5-6 things tied to themselves in various places! It worked! After seeing one guy running around with his helmet tied to his belt, I never forgot or lost any of my equipment!
