I'm not sure how the net first came into the game but I've heard a couple good reasons for it which I'll share: 1. It helps determine if a shot was made. You know the term, "nothin but net" If there was no net and a ref didn't have a good view then it might look like an "airball" 2. The net also substantially slows down the ball coming through the hoop to avoid it from screamin through and off the court or hitting a player below the basket.
First, you need a new net. To get one, go to your local sporting goods store. Then, take a ladder (unless your hoop is adjusted to be short) and go to the rung where you can reach the rim. There should be 6 or 8 spots where parts of the net are connected on the rim. Just cut the old net down. Then, take each part of the net and connect each one onto the 6 or 8 spots on the rim.
The rim is the circular hoop attached perpendicularly to the backboard. The rim is usually painted orange and is made of iron. When the game first originated, a basket was used instead of a rim, which is why it is called 'basketball'.
The origins of basketball and the basketball net trace back to 1891, when an instructor at YMCA named Dr. James Naismith nailed a peach basket onto an elevated track. He also wrote basic rules for the game.

basketball ring is where you can shoot the ball. it is a metal ring that sticks out of the backboard that you must shoot the ball through. The rim also contains a net that the ball falls out of once you make it in.
On a standard Basketball net, the rim is attached perpendicularly to the backboard, which is usually white (or clear) in colour.

A basketball rim is used for knowing how far you can shoot a basketball into the basketball hoop. It also determines your accuracy and stamina with the sport.
not properly. you can use something like cable ties to hang it though
