I would like to know what is application memory because it cant be ram because see the picture, and it cant be storage because force quitting applications does not reduce storage.

It's possible that your boot disk is too full and there's not enough space for virtual disk swapping. Pls. tell us the size (capacity) of your boot disk & the amount of free space available. You can find this by doing GetInfo (CMD-I) on the disk icon.
Chrome has also been known to be a resource hog, increasingly so as you open more tabs/windows. It may be a memory leak or it may just be how Chrome works.

If a boot drive is getting full and forcing data to virtual memory, a simple restart often takes care of that. That also helps if a single app (like PhotoBooth in your image) is being gluttonous.
You can also use Activity Monitor to get an idea of RAM usage:

Your system has run out of application memory
