Texture changes how the music sounds... Voila, a beautiful paragraph that describes it :
"In music, texture is the way the melodic, rhythmic, and harmonic materials are combined in a composition (Benward & Saker 2003, 131), thus determining the overall quality of sound of a piece. Texture is often described in regards to the density, or thickness, and range, or width between lowest and highest pitches, in relative terms as well as more specifically distinguished according to the number of voices, or parts, and the relationship between these voices (see types of texture below) (Benward & Saker 2003, 131). A piece's texture may be affected by the number and character of parts playing at once, the timbre of the instruments or voices playing these parts and the harmony, tempo, and rhythms used."
But if you didn't understand it in the first place, you probably aren't enlightened now. It just depends on how you play something, and it's fairly complex.

ProfessorTexture describes the complexity of a musical composition. The word texture is used because adding different layers or elements to music creates a musical tapestry. Texture can be simple or elaborate, and is described with the following terms:
- Monophonic A single line of melody.
- Biphonic: Two different, simultaneous melodies.
- Heterophonic: A slightly elaborated melody with one or two voices; some intervals
- Homophonic: A single line of melody with chords or accompaniment.
- Polyphonic: A composition with many voices and harmonies.
Texture in a song refers to the type of sound. For instance, in singing, you can change the texture of your voice from light and soft to dark and loud and low. Also, different Guitars have different textures. Like in a metal band, the texture is rough and distorted, but in a country song, it can be smooth and clean, without any distortion.
