A discrete component is one where the package contains only one circuit element. The opposite is an "integrated circuit" (aka a "silicon chip" or "chip") where a package contains many circuit elements.
It's not that "discrete" is a type of resistor, it's that a resistor is a type of discrete component.

Is no of common colds a discrete or continuous variable?
It is a discrete variable, as number of colds experienced by individuals would be one time, two times or so on. So, it is a finite category proving it a discrete variable.
Function of resistor capacitor and transistor on integrated circuit?
resistor
Why you use resistor with variable resistor?
Often we want to easily change a resistor value, so we use a variable resistor. For example, we may want to change the resistor that controls the power sent to a LED, so we can easily make it brighter or dimmer. Often if we use a variable resistor, there is only a very narrow range that is useful. Continuing our example, sometimes we use several LEDs, and we use the variable resistor to set them all to the same brightness. In this case, the resistance range that sets the LED to be twice as bright as the the other LEDs, and the resistance range that sends so much power to the LED that it is permanently destroyed is even less useful. So we add a fixed resistor in series with the variable resistor -- the fixed resistor sets the minimum net resistance, no matter how we turn the knob on the variable resistor. In our example, the addition of the fixed resistor allows us to turn the variable resistor throughout its whole range, and the LED gets brighter and dimmer; without that resistor, a certain range of the knob on the variable resistor would allow so much power to go to the LED that it would be destroyed.
What is the total resistance of a 5-ohm resistor and a 10-ohm resistor in a parallel series?
2
What is a resistor decade box?
A box of precision resistors where you can dial in the exact resistance you want with dials. Essentially a variable resistor with very precise, discrete, settings.
Define zero ohm resistor.?
A zero-ohm resistor does not exist, so we are talking about an ideal resistor. An ideal resistor is needed for description in a circuit, where we lump all wire/parasitic resistances into discrete resistors, but the wire joining two discrete resistors is considered to have no resistance. My definition: a zero-ohm resistor is an ideal resistor that does not consume energy when a current exists in the resistor. Alternatively, a zero-ohm resistor is an ideal resistor that cannot sustain any potential drop when a current is on. Thirdly, a zero-ohm resistor is an ideal resistor that will conduct an infinite current when a voltage is applied across it.

What cell that decreases in resistance with a decrease in illumination?
A photo resistor decreases in resistance as illumination increases. I don't believe there are any discrete components that accomplish what you are asking. You may need to use a photo resistor, combined with a transistor to invert this operation.
What is a discrete particle of energy?
A small discrete unit of energy is called a quantum of energy. The definition of quantum is a discrete quantity of energy proportional in magnitude to the frequency of the radiation that it represents.
