fm input modulates frequency and pm input modulates phase ;)
if you want to experiment a bit you may connect constant value or lfo module to them and see/hear how they differ :)

That's the case on the most known "FM" synth, DX7...

Put the osc on a low freq, give it an input of 0.5Hz or so, then monitor it on ValMonitor. That will explain a lot - on any oscillator and/or shaper :)
