Question: As of now ,what i know abt cloning is that we can make a field to field copy of an object.ie when we clone an object,its state as well as a its behaviour is copied to the cloned object.
My question is what is the neccesity of it? cant we create another object of the same class? so how does its different from cloned object (that is creating another object of that class rather than being cloned).
is there any security issues coupled with this cloned object? And What is the Concrete purpose of Cloning?

Creating a new instance of the same class and then being sure to apply all attributes of the original object to the new object would be equivalent to cloning. The clone method takes the legwork out of getting a duplicate of an object.
