Rom:

• ROM is nothing but modded version of an existing android, as like we have variants of Linux.

Boot loaders:

•  By default in android devices boot loaders are locked.

ADB:

• ADB also known as Android Debug Bridge, is sort of a command line tool much like command prompt in Windows OS.

• It allows the computer to communicate with your connected android device.

•  Most of rooting tools uses ADB , which is part of Android SDK(Software Development Kit).

Recovery:

• Recovery is a kind of software bundled with the phone, which makes backups , flashing ROMs and many more OS level tasks possible.
