Action is a measure of distance between the strings and fretboard. Commonly guitar necks after some time bend a bit due to multiple cycles of thermal expansion and contraction. This leads to a change in action. Guitars may give a buzzing sound indicating that the string is touching some extra fret in between. A low action guitar would be easier to play/press but would be more prone to bending issues. A high action guitar will not usually buzz but on frets say 9 onwards would be difficult to play.

Due to a long time practice the sweat from our fingers will be there on the string this will cause rusting and there is high chance of breaking the string. Other thing is that the string is used for a long time and is not changed yet
