The basics of a combustion engine is that it needs to be fed with a fine mix of air and finely dispersed fuel to get a mixture that will burn and make power. the ratio of fuel-to-air has to be just right for the mixture to burn.
The oldest way of creating that was through carburettors. A carb is basically a tube that the engine draws air through, and in that tube, sitting proud in the air stream, there's a nozzle where fuel seeps out. The rush of air, the shape of the tube and the size of the nozzle is what disperses the fuel into a combustible mixture.
( well, these days there are acceleration pumps, chokes, idle nozzles and all sorts of trimmings as well, but the basics still stays.)
An injector is basically a nozzle, an atomizer, like on any spray can. It'll deliver a finely misted fuel spray, when fuel is simply pumped through it.
These days injectors are more common, as they give better control of the fuel delivvery over a wider range of running conditions.

Difference between multi point fuel injection and carburetor?
The difference is how fuel is introduced to the engine. A carburated vehicle uses air flowing past a series of valving to suck fuel in to the engine mechanically. A fuel injected vehicle uses fuel injectors controlled by a computer. The computer decides when to open the fuel injector which then shoots a burst of fuel in to the engine.
