spring-boot-starter-web -> Services on Tomcat - typically REST services using Spring MVC for web layer
spring-boot-starter-jersey -> Services on Tomcat - typically REST services using Jersey implementation of JAX-RS for web layer
spring-boot-starter-web-services -> SOAP services

I highly recommend inspecting these POMs if you are familiar with Maven. Code answers your questions better than thousand SO answers.
