A clone is an exact copy of an object but it is independent of the object. If you let Object a=Object b then by changing some variable in a will also change the variable in b (since a is a reference to b). If a is a clone of b then a is the exact copy but is independent of b therefore by changing a variable in a will not change the variable in b.
