fileset is partioned and stores the data in ascci format unlike the sequential file stage.
file stage stores the data in human redable format unlike the filedet

This is incorrect. The File Set also stores the data in human readable format.

File Set is partitioned, with data file(s) on the resource disk of each node on which the File Set stage executed.

File is not partitioned. It accesses single file(s) wherever they may be. It can treat multiple files that have identical structure (metadata) as if they form a File Set.
