This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The issue here is that the user wanted to know the difference between a taxonomy and a custom post type.
Solution:
The taxonomies are meant to categorise your custom posts. The custom post types are meant to hold the actual information of the posts.
In order words when you want to create a post that will have a title, content, image, custom fields etc you will do this under a custom post type.
Lets say you have a having a book catalogue website.
You will create a Custom Post Type called book, which will hold the book title, the description and then the featured image will be the cover of the book.
Now how a taxonomy comes in is that it allows you to categorise the books. This can either be Fantasy, Fiction, Science Fiction etc.
