Answers:

WayPoints are a symbolic graphical node on time track panel. There are variants  of waypoints
While animation mode is on - if properties value changes of object/s then at that particular time/frame changes are stored and Waypoints appears.
Keyframe is vertical line mark  in the timeline
While animation mode is on -  if properties value changes of object/s then at that particular frame changes are stored and keyframe appears (as triangle shape) on "timebar".

keyframe remembers the values of the parameters at that frame but does not keep them static at that frame. To maintain a parameter's value static in a certain frame you must use a waypoint.
