why does the pole star appear stationary in the skly ,whereas all other stars appear to move from east to west???
As pole star lies close to the earth's axis, hence it appears statonary whereas other stars are far away and hence they appear to move from west to east.

The pole star appears to be stationary as it is at the top of the north pole of the earth. Stars do not move or rotate, they remain stationary in their positions ( like the sun ). stars appear to move because of the earth's rotation and revolution. When the Pole star is situated above the axis of the earth it appears to be stationary unlike other stars.
