What is the need of Apache server, when Tomcat alone can be used for web applications like Java. I am very much confused. Please explain me why do we need apache server in case of working with tomcat?

Tomcat is a servlet engine. However as you have mentioned tomcat can serve HTML content too. This is embedded to ease the development of web applications I guess. However tomcat is not a full blown web server. It can not do many things a web server can do. For example URL redirection, domain name mapping and stuff like that, and this list can grow.
