• ROM: Rom is basically a OS (Operating System) for your android.It is an image file that contains all relevant information needed to run your device and it's features.For example Ice-cream sandwich , jellybeans are all Roms.

• Bootloader: Your bootloader is the lowest level of software on your phone, running all the code that's necessary to start your operating system. Most bootloaders come locked, meaning you can't flash custom recoveries or ROMs. Unlocking your bootloader doesn't root your phone directly, but it does allow you to root and/or flash custom ROMs. 

• Recovery: Your recovery is the software on your phone that lets you make backups, flash ROMs, and perform other system-level tasks.Before rooting it is essential to install custom recovery.Famous custom recoveries includes clockworkmod or TWRP. 

• Nandroid: The most important concept is of Nandroid as it is a beam of light in the midst of dark.For example if you messed up with your phone while rooting then you can use Nandroid backups to bring your phone to it's last recent look.It is basically a backup image file.
