exe is a link to the binary which started the process, but if the process is started for example(perl test.pl) you will see exe ponting perl and not test.pl

mounts is the list of the mount points as it was presenting during the start of the process, if you have mounted or unmounted a mountpoint during the execution of the process, it will not know about that since this is a copy of /proc/mounts and not a link

limits contains a list with the current ulimits set for the current process

environ is the environment that the process saw when it was started

cmdline is almost the same as exe but it usually has the arguments that have been added on the command line when the process was started.

The interesting thing about environ and cmdline is that the options there are not separated and you have to know for what you are searching
