Rods and cones are things in your eye that help you to see black and white. Rods are more sensitive than cones. They're what makes optical illusions possible for our eyes along with perception. Rods are sensitive to only the brigtness of the light, and allow us to see in black and white. Cones provide color vision.

What is in the back of the eye holding 3 million cones on a billion rods?

The retina contains the rods and cones. There are more rods than cones but is is more like 120 million rods to 5 million cones. Both are special cells that are photoreceptors. This means that they are sensitive to light. The cones are best for color vision but the rods are for low light. That is one reason why you don't see color in low light.
