User input can mean many things, and most applications accept a wide range of different categories of input from their users. Even single forms are usually made up of different types of inputs that makes it easy for your users to understand what kind of data they're asked to provide.
Text and number inputs allow users to provide text ranging from short, like an email address, an order number or a name to long, like a blog post or product description. Text can be formatted (rich text) or unformatted (plain text).
