what is the Difference between Frame buffer object, Render buffer object and texture? In what context they will be used?
A framebuffer object is more or less just a managing construct. It manages a complete framebuffer at a whole with all its sub-buffers, like the color buffers, the depth buffer and the stencil buffer.
The textures or renderbuffers comprise the actual storage for the individual sub-buffers. This way you can have multiple color buffers, a depth buffer and a stencil buffer, all stored in different textures/renderbuffers. But they all together make up a single logical framebuffer into which you render.
So a final fragment (you may call it pixel, but actually isn’t one yet) written to the framebuffer has one or more color values, a depth value and a stencil value and they all end up in different sub-buffers of the framebuffer.
