A plugin that adds a Tweet button for Twitter is a good example.

Plugins

plugins are la esencia de WordPress, transforming it into everything from a forum to a social network, eCommerce platforms and much more with the push of a button. Plugins give you total control over all aspects of the WordPress system, allowing you to modify anything you want. 

The REST API is relatively new and allows you to create true applications based on WordPress. This includes iPhone and Android apps and all sorts of crazy things like TV apps even, if you know some other programming languages.
You can connect to any website and ask it for your latest five posts. But you can do a lot more than that: you can delete users, create users, edit categories and more (which you need to authenticate yourself, of course). This means you can use WordPress as a repository of information and build the front-end and/or the backend using a different system altogether.
