Php fpm and nginx

I tried to understand what pcp fpm is and why it is used in conjunction with nginx, but I didn't really understand it. Why is the fpm not needed when using apache? Namely with nginx

nginx php-fpm

For interpreting scripts written in php, you need an interpreter program. neither nginx nor apache can interpret such scripts.

for nginx in this case, usually use the interface fastcgi to run the php-fpm interpreter (fpm = = fastcgi process manager).
for apache in this case, usually use the corresponding module (including the interpreter php). although using php-fpm via the fastcgi module is also quite acceptable.

What is pcp fpm

This is the interpreter php, built to provide the fastcgi interface. well, with "several additional features commonly used for high-load sites".
