Density of the mass, the mass gets denser when the star collapses on itself, so its gravitational force increases.

One cubic centimeter is said to weigh a billion of our suns. Or something like that. If you think of space as a sheet held at all sides by you and your friends. Then take a bowling ball and put it in the middle. The depression the bowling ball makes is an example of gravity. If light traveled by your bowling ball the light would bend around the depression made by the ball. If the bowling ball weighed 20,000 lbs and you and your friends were able to still hold the sheet the depression would be deeper. If light were to travel by that depression it would sink into it with little hope of ever escaping. Think about gravity in terms of weight and its effect on the fabric of space and it will make more sense to you.

Yes, gravity is proportional to mass even in a black hole.

Gravity is caused by mass. It has soo much of gravity becouse it has soo much mass .
