A reference point in physics is a point in space, regardless of the type of geometry that you are using that stays still and does not move. From this point the behaviour of an object moving through that space can be determined.
In 3 dimensional space, the reference point is usually considered to be the zero point where all 3 axes are 0....hope it helps :) and thumbs up if ur satisfied plss :))
A fixed point with respect to which a body changes its position is called referance point or origin.

"Reference point in physics" refers to the object or point from which the body under question is in motion. It is used as a comparative point which helps to analyse the motion of a body. This is due to the fact that the motion is relative to a subject.
In most of the cases, the "reference point" is assumed to be "stationary" and the "object" is considered to be in "motion" relative to that point.
