Solution

A Terminal is used to execute commands. A typical android developer need to execute some commands like lint check, adb kill-server etc., at some point in development.

The main advantage of the embedded terminal in android studio is that, it is not only easy to access (no need to open it from list of programs) but also it opens pointing to the exact location of your android project (no need of \'cd\' commands to navigate to your project folder).
A terminal emulator is a program that makes your Android phone act like an old fashioned computer terminal. It is useful for accessing the Linux command line shell that is built into every Android phone. We use terminal emulator on Android for executing Linux core shells or other stuff like that. It is a very useful soft for Android developers

The terminal emulator is mainly used for debugging purposes.
You can broadcast some action to android devices from terminal.
