apple trees

Question

Someone mentioned to me how all the apple trees would be crab apples unless we cloned and grafted other tree types onto them?? Idk if this is even right but can someone explain apple trees to me?? I did go apple picking and saw the stumps for the trees are different from the actual tree. Also what is a crab apple? I have questions. Thanks!! Hahaha
