I don`t know what the texture of the music means, but I have an idea which is probably wrong.
Homo means one. Phone means sound. So Homophonic means one sound.
Polyphonic is many sounds. (like polygon is many angles.)
Chords are notes played at the same time. For example, the notes G, B-flat, D make up a G-minor chord.
Line? It`s probably a system of the music. But then again I may be wrong.

Harmony is how the greatest common factors of the frequency of the notes of chords overlap. So if you play an octave, lets say A220 and A440, the greatest common factor is 220, so the octave has lots of harmony. I hope I explained it okay.
