A truss is the structure that holds the roof(or bridge or whatever). Purlins are members holding a few trusses together.
A truss is a simple frame made from two force members.

In plane truss, both the truss structure and the applied loads lie in the same plane. In space truss, either the structure or the loads or both lie in different planes.
A truss is a two dimensional structural lattice designed to provide a structural span. They use less material than a simple beam and are lighter. A horizontal truss consists of two horizontal members like beams, upper and lower, that define the depth of the truss, and internal members that form a lattice between these two beams. A stiffening truss is a truss designed to provide extra rigidity or stiffness. A deep truss has a large distance between the upper and lower members.
a truss is said to be rigid when there is no relative motion of any point on any member of the truss with respect to any other point on any other member of the truss. in other words, a truss is said to be rigid when the distances between any two points on the truss remain constant at all times.
A truss bridges are designed using materials that are connected in a manner to be stressed under tension and/or compression. I truss system can be designed to be as long as necessary. Columns are also used in truss desins to reduce deflections.
