The spring lines prevent the boat from moving back and forth.
A rope not attached to anything is called a rope. The moment you attach it to anything it's called a line.

Haha, I once told someone I was sailing with "No! This is a rope" *holds coil in my hand while standing on the dock* *throws coil onto the boat's deck* "That is a line! Got it?" *points*
