FM stands for frequency modulation and AM stands for Amplitude modulation.

In FM, frequency of a modulating signal is modulated using carrier frequency i.e. more data can be transmitted using a little space and also it is safe to transmit the information while in AM amplitude of a modulating signal is modulated using carrier frequency i.e. more space needed for transmitting the information.

That's why we use FM in place of AM
