UV
UV Room work as Paint Room extension. Paint Room <-> UV Room are synchronized automatically.
Retopo room and UV room are pre process and post process of UV creation/editing.
Retopo/Modeling
Retopology is the process of simplifying the topology of a mesh to make it cleaner and easier to work with creating a new optimized mesh.
Retopo room and modeling room have difference task and have difference tools.
– The Retopo room is designed to create a low poly mesh based on a sculpt mesh.
– The modeling room was created later and intended for modeling a low poly mesh without a sculpt mesh.

Sculpt
3D sculpting is great for quickly establishing the overall forms and shapes of a model and provides a more intuitive, artistic approach similar to traditional sculpting.
It allows for faster results when modeling organic forms.
Render
3D rendering is the 3D computer graphics process of converting 3D models into 2D images on a computer.
