mRNA is a part of RNA, but why can't RNA move to the ribosome? why does mRNA have to do that?. so what exactly is mRNA and isn't it the same as RNA?

RNA is ribonucleic acid. RNA can have special functions: mRNA, tRNA and rRNA.
mRNA is produced when transcribing genomic DNA. it copies the 'code' of the particular protein in the nucleus and moves to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm where the nucleic acid sequence is translated into the amino acid sequence - producing the protein.
tRNA are small sequences of RNA which are bound up to particular amino acids. they act as an 'adapter' between the mRNA and amino acid.
rRNA are small sequences of RNA complexed with the ribosomes and play a role in translation.

mRNA is the messenger molecule which scribes the geneitic DNA info in the nucleus. RnA is a multi-active nuclueotide that does the same thing as DNA(sort of )

mRNA is messenger RNA
just remember that

The second RNA has a "m" in front of it.
