Difference between sprite and texture?

Question

Could you explain the difference between texture and sprite? When we increase the sprite, it looks blurry because it is basically an image. Is it the same for texture?

I read this comment in the image below online:

Background layers are textures, not sprites.

Can someone explain?

Answer 1

Sprites and textures are both images.

A sprite is an image that can be used as a 2d object that has coordinates (x, y) and which you can move, destroy or create during the game.
