Tower: That is the name for a computer that would be too big to fit on a desk, and therefore has to stand on its own. Desktop: can fit on a desk, or can stand depending on where the user wants to put it, a tower is much sturdier and larger than a desktop box.

Congratulations! You have a virus. (:
A tower is the "cpu" part of the whole computer system that a user would have setup. Ie there's the monitor (sits on your desk), the speakers, mouse/keyboard, and the "tower" that sits under the desk(usually). It's the part of the computer system that all the cables connect into. It contains the computer case, power supply, motherboard, central processor, hard drives, video cards, etc. That's the tower. Some computers today are built without towers and everything is integrated into one device similar to a laptop but larger and not as mobile.
One difference between a desktop and a laptop is that a laptop is portable while a desktop is stationary. Laptops are usually smaller and can run off of battery power while a desktop is bigger and has to be plugged in to work.

A tower is the part of the computer which all the main devices are located. The tower is where you first turn your computer on. A desktop is the same thing, a desktop consists of a Tower, Monitor, Keyboard, Speakers, and a Mouse.
The two common designs for a desktop computer are tower desktops and table desktops. Choice between these depends on work area space availability.

A monitor is the viewing screen, a desktop consists of your cpu, computer components.
A traditional desktop computer usually has a computer tower, monitor, mouse, and keyboard. An all-in-one desktop, however, tries to combine these. The actual computer will be inside of the (sometimes over-sided) monitor, and the monitor itself may include a touchscreen. You will still usually want a keyboard, rather that trying to use the on-screen one, and a mouse my be useful as well. You will at least be able to do away with the computer tower, however.
