The question is not improper, But I will try to explain your doubt.

The pot and part of stove are obviously in contact with each other. It is known as conduction The pot on gas stove burner, the air above the stove is heated and because it is gas moves upwards, this is convection. The bottom of the pot and surface of the stove are not 100% flat. Thats why there will be little pockets of air underneath the pot, even if you place it on the stove.

If we heat up the stove as much as then it turns to red, this visible sign is known as radiation.

Therefore all the 3 kinds of heat transfer takes place
