It's a Field Effect Transistor. I personally wouldn't consider it either of those options; if I had to pick one, it's more inductor-like (in that it has impedance).
MOSFETs are always controlled by voltage.
Capacitor
Resistors and MOSFET/ transistors are two different animals, sory but
Electronic component are those component which are used to make the electronic circuit it may be active or passive . some active components are - Diode ,FET,BJT,MOSFET, and HEMT etc. while passive component are those device which can not process/amplify signal like- resistor capacitor inductor etc.

It depends on: 1. technology, whether it's a JFET, enhancement-mode IGFET/MOSFET or depletion-mode IGFET/MOSFET, and 2. polarity, whether it's an N type or P type. More info needed for this one.
The basic difference is between JFET and enhanced MOSFET,although the construction of JFET and depletion MOSFET is different but their most of the characteridtics are same,i.e shockly equation can be applied on both of them,but in JFET we cant give to gate voltage, the +ve value,because it does not works, but in depletion we can give,but some limited +ve value. Now enhanced MOSFET is different,shockly equation cant be applied.The transfer characteristics are purely in +ve Vg region. i.e for E-MOSFET Vg should be > 0,for its proper function.

the current in mosfet is controlled by electric field where as in poto diode is controlled by intensity of light
Use a mosfet driver instead of a simple resistor. Using a resistor to control the mosfet is a bad idea anyways because you will have terrible control (mosfets are voltage controlled. Take a look at the response curve for your mosfet). If your mosfet is fully on, its ratings may be too low for continuous operation or the power dissipation is too low for the transition between off an on an that is killing your mosfet.
An enhancement MOSFET doesn't conduct current across the drain to source unless a voltage is applied to the gate. When sufficient voltage is applied to the gate of the transistor, currents flows from drain to source. A MOSFET acts as a switch or amplifier in a circuit.
The Silicon di-oxide acts as a dielectric which forms a capacitor.

An e only(enhancement) ÊMOSFET is off at zero gate-source voltage. Meanwhile, a de (depletion enhancement)ÊMOSFET is on at zero gate-source voltage.

a FET, or Feild Effect Transistor. In a FET, the value of the current depends upon the value of the voltage applied at the gate and drain so it is known as a voltage controlled device. For example: In a MOSFET the current from drain to source depends upon the width of the depletion layer which in turn depends upon the voltage applied on the gate.
It depends. A depletion MOSFET can be used as an ehancemnet MOSFET when it is operated as an analog amplifier. However, a depletion MOSFET can't replace an enhancement MOSFET when it is operated as a digital switch. When a depletion MOSFET is used as a digital switch, since the junction between source terminal and substrate must be reverse biased, the voltage of the source terminal of an N typde transistor must be tied to Vdd, and it is completely opposite to an enhancement MOSFET. When a depletion MOSFET is used as an analog amplifer, the source terminal and the substrate are both at the same potential, just like an enhancement MOSFET.
