What is the importance of elasticity of demand and supply?
Elasticity of demand to firms are important because they represent the nature of the goods they are dealing in. For example if a firm produces goods with inelastic demand they will be able to earn high profits because even if they increase the price of the goods, since the change in demand will be less than the change in price. Also if there is a tax they will share less of the burden. This means they can keep prices high and not have to worry about a lot of things. However, if a firm were to produce goods with elastic demand, then they will have to make sure the price of the good remains low and if there is a tax they will be the ones who share the majority of the burden.
If a product has a inelastic demand a price increase will cause?
I assume you mean that the demand is inelastic? If so, then the consumer will buy the same amount and pay the higher price. The usual example of this would be insulin (assuming you need a fixed amount to live and there are no alternatives)

The difference between a elastic and inelastic demand?
Elastic demand changes according to some other factor. The demand for holdiay trees is elastic throughout the year because there is only damand during the winter season. Inelastic demand is constant. As you might have guessed, the demand for gasoline is inelastic because most families need a constant supply. Even during the so-called summer driving season, the uptick in demand is going to remain the same, unless prices cause what is called "demand destruction." This is what happened during 2009.

When can a commodity be completely inelastic?
Never. According to every economics textbook in existence, an "elastic" commodity is one where a one-percent price delta causes at least a one-percent demand delta. An "inelastic" commodity is one where a one-percent price delta causes less than a one-percent demand delta, and a "completely inelastic" commodity is one where demand doesn't change regardless of price changes. Here's reality: there is not one product in this world that you can increase the price of and not cause demand to fall.

Which products included in the case of demand curve is inelastic and supply curve is perfectly elastic?
Some of the products which are considered perfectly inelastic are rice, fish, meat, etc., or in short is our basic nessecities. These products are under the perfect competetive market structure that's why if the firms increase its price still, the consumers are tend to buy it cause they dont have other choice but its substitute goods.
