Answer:

what is homophone is a word that is pronounced the same (to varying extent) as another word but differs in meaning. A homophone may also differ in spelling. The two words may be spelled the same, a for example rose (flower) and rose (past tense of rise), or differently, as in rain, reign, and rein. The term "homophone" may also apply to units longer or shorter than words, for example a phrase, letter, or groups of letters which are pronounced the same as another phrase, letter, or group of letters. Any unit with this property is said to be "homophonous"

Homophones that are spelled the same are also both homographs and homonyms, e.g. the word "read", as in "He is well read" (he is very educated) vs. the sentence "I read that book" (I have finished reading that book.)

Homophones that are spelled differently are also called heterographs

Explanation:

A homophone is a word that sounds the same as another word but has a different meaning and/or spelling. “Flower” and “flour” are homophones because they are pronounced the same but you certainly can't bake a cake using daffodils
