I'm not sure you understand what that term means. "Plot" is just the word that we use to mean "what goes on in the story." If there's no plot, it's not a story. It might be an essay or a report or an article, but it's not a story.

Not necessarily. Some stories may focus more on character development, atmosphere, or themes rather than a traditional plot structure. However, having a plot can help create a sense of direction and purpose in a story.

Setting is important in all stories. Where and when the story takes place often changes the way the plot is seen and understood.
