How many windings does a auto-transformer have?

A true autotransformer consists of one, tapped, winding. For a step-down transformer, part of the winding is in series with the supply and the other part is common to both the supply and the load. For a step-up autotransformer, part of the winding is in series with the load, while the other part is common to both supply and load.But you can also use a mutual transformer as an autotransformer, by connecting the two windings in series and, then, described as above.

What is auto transformer stater?

I think you are confusing your terms. The term 'stator' (not 'stater') is used to describe the stationary part of a rotating machine (motor, generator), as opposed to the term 'rotor' which describes the rotating part. No part of an autotransformer is normally described as a 'stator'. An autotransformer has a laminated silicon-steel 'core', around which are placed 'windings'.
