Why do we use Retrieve workflow context over the retrieve objects.?

0
Can't we use and update the retrieve objects component itself to retrieve the things which we actually retrieve from retrieve workflow context? If this is possible, why do we need two different components? If not, could you help me understand why?

Hi Arivazhagan Natarajan,

                    The WorkflowContext parameter provides the means by which you can pass business-related data to the workflow. An entity that stores the business-related data has to be selected as the parameter type. When a workflow is triggered, the parameter is filled with the current object of the specified entity

This context object is a facilitator for you in the mendix development tools. If this wasnt there then there could have been lengthier steps to get to your concerned object. Isnt it?
