The abstract is the one place in the article where most if not all of the "what" questions can be answered. Although other sections can answer some of these questions, only the abstract, which is a synopsis of the study as a whole, can address most or all of them. The introduction states the research problem and its context. The results show the study findings. The discussion is the part of the research study that interprets the findings.
