Difference between api, track and wire in Lightning Web Component

@api
To expose a public property, decorate it with @api.
Public properties define the API for a component. An owner component that uses the component in its markup can access the component’s public properties. Public properties are reactive. If the value of reactive property changes, the component’s template rerenders any content that references the property.
To expose a public method, decorate it with @api. Public methods are part of a component’s API. You can use a JavaScript method to communicate down the containment hierarchy. For example, an owner calls a method on a child component that it contains.@track
To track a private property’s value and re-render a component when it changes, decorate the property with @track. Tracked properties are also called private reactive properties.

@wire
To read Salesforce data, Lightning web components use a reactive wire service. When the wire service provisions data, the component rerenders. Components use @wire in their JavaScript class to specify a wire adaptor or an Apex method.
