Comment on What is the difference between roasting and baking, since they are both referring to cooking something in an oven?

When you roast something, you keep it wet. Baking dries things out.
You’ve got them backwards: roasting dries stuff out (think of coffee beans, for instance). Baking does not (think of a cake)
Which is why you have to baste a roast, to keep it wet.
