When we install ubuntu as a separate partition along windows, we create mount point for root. /home also resides inside /.Then why do we need to create separate mount point for /home.What is the significance of this? And also what is the difference between selecting primary and logical for the mount points?

I suspect you only have to do this when you have opted to have a separate partition for the /home directory. This is optional. At minimum you could just have a linux swap partition and just one big partition for root.
Having a /home partition might be useful in the instance where your OS boots from a solid state drive, but you have a hard drive with much greater capacity also installed. Such a configuration could increase boot speed with out sacrificing storage space.
