Because of the small area of the needle and the force that is exerted on the balloon. The pressure inside the balloon that was previously more, finally can diffuse into the room. Since the air canot all escape from the needle prick it bursts to equal the pressure.

Why rubber balloon with a piece of scotch tape does not burst when it is pricked by a needle at the piece of scotch tape?

Normally, When you prick a balloon with a needle the hole the pin makes creates a weak point that continues to tear as the pressure inside the balloon attempts to escape. ( I.E. To equalise the pressure inside and outside the balloon ) That is the balloon bursting... The piece of Scotch Tape, however, holds the area around the pinhole together stopping this tearing and preventing the balloon bursting.

A rubber balloon with a piece of scotch tape does not burst when it is pricked by a needle at the piece of the scotch tape?

The reason it sometimes won't, or won't immediately, is the tape prevents the balloon from ripping. The pop is caused by a very quick rip of the latex. The tape prevents the balloon from popping , or allows it to occur more slowly.

Why don't balloons pop when pricked through tape?

The tape acts as reinforcement and prevents the hole from the pin to become a rip that bursts the balloon. Without the tape stuck onto the balloon the needle prick would allow the rubber tension to rip itself apart because of the air pressure stretching the rubber which would be in tension. The tape stops the balloon being able to split and so it doesn't burst. It used to be a kids trick to put 2 pieces of tape on opposite sides of a balloon and then push a long knitting needle right through the balloon without bursting it.

How do you pierce a needle into the balloon and not to break the balloon?

...by pinching the balloon between your thumb and index finger and inserting the needle between the compressed rubber of the balloon at that point without letting go of the compressed balloon until you release the needle from the balloon.
