APERTURE
Aperture is the opening through which light passes through the lens to enter the camera.
Its size can be modified to control how much light reaches the sensor.
The diameter of the aperture, also known as the F-stop, affects:
-
Exposure
-
Depth of field.

How does aperture affect Depth of field?
First off, what is depth of field?
Depth of field is the area of acceptable sharpness in front of and behind the subject on which the lens is focused.
It essentially refers to how blurry or sharp the area is around your subject is:
How do different lenses affect the depth of field?
Focal Length: Tells us the angle of view and therefore how much of the scene will be captured as well as the magnification ie. how large individual elements will be.
The shorter the focal length ie. the wider the lens, the greater the depth of field.
The longer the focal length ie. the longer the lens, the shallower the depth of field.
