Iphoto photos
What happens to my photos that were stored in Iphoto? I have been backing up my Macbook Pro, so will I have to retrieve them that way ?
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.2

iPhoto was discontinued 5 years ago. It is no longer developed or sold. It was replaced by the more powerful (and free) Photos.app that comes with the OS. You can migrate to that app very simply:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch Photos. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and point at your iPhoto Library. It will do the rest.
If you prefer not to use Photos there are several 3rd party apps that you can use. Which to choose depends on the kind of photographer you are and your budget.
