If you look in the user master record (SU01) you will find the roles assigned to a user in the roles tab and profiles (standalone or associated with roles) in the profiles tab

Answer:
a role contains profiles.

Answer:
A role generates profiles.

Answer:
The role (menu and TCodes) helps provide the criteria (SU24 maintenance) to create, configure and maintain the profile (associated authorizations). A role can have one or more associated authorization profiles (depending on the size). A new profile is automatically generated for every 150 authorizations.
