Dear Siddharth

In the world of software back end means the place where the data is stored ,usually it refers to DATABASE.

Because through the front end application we can only manipulate with the data but we can't store it.

For this we need database. it could be in any format.

I agree.

BACKEnd usually means what's storing your data. Nowadays, database is not just a storage but it can also process data (ie RDBMS). If you have an application or a system it's what at the back compared with the GUI (Graphical User-Interface) which is usually called the FRONTEnd.
