Assosiation is one main thing which is represented for relationships between two classes A and B. Aggregation and composition is two part of association The below two links specify this with real life examples if you faces difficulties to understand this ping me. http://aviadezra.blogspot.com/2009/05/uml-association-aggregation-composition.html?m=1 https://www.visual-paradigm.com/guide/uml-unified-modeling-language/uml-aggregation-vs-composition/
