YUM is the Yellowdog Updater, Modified -- an tool for Redhat linux (and ones based upon it) that is used to install, remove, and update packages, all while automatically resolving dependencies.

lilo is the linux boot loader, used to boot a linux system. (An alternative to this is GRUB, which is the GRand Unified Bootloader.)
