Jet engines and rockets are different means of propulsion. A jet engine takes in air, compresses it and mixes it with vaporized fuel. The air fuel mixture is ignited and produces thrust out the rear of the engine. A rocket uses fuel wich is burned and produces thrust with no air intake. Rocket fuels can be solid, liquid or compressed gas.

Why does a space craft requires a rocket engine instead of a jet engine?
because jet engines reqire air to take in in order to work, rocket engines spew matter to privide thrust
What is the difference between a jet engine and a rocket engine in relations to oxygen?
A jet engine takes oxygen from the air to burn with its fuel. A rocket engine has to take oxygen or some comparable oxidizer with it.
