Areas are drawn polygons that have area. In general, the utility of the polygon is tied to its size. Examples of areas include fields, natural areas, residences, barns, greenhouses, etc.
Lines are drawn, multi-point segments that don’t form a closed polygon. In general, lines don’t have an area (such as with fences) or their area is relatively uniform and based on the direction of the line (such as with creeks or buffer areas). Examples of lines are: fences, creeks, roads, and footpaths
Points on the other hand are coordinates that are dropped on the map. For all intents and purposes, they don’t have an “area” per se, but rather provide a service based on their location. Examples of structures include water valves and gates
