Hi Jegan Priya,

Upto Window Phone 8, controls are Sliverlight based but from Windows Phone 8,1 Microsoft provide Both Window8 (Also Silverlight) support to support Universal Application, So Windows Phone Window8 control may used to work in Windows 8 and Universal As well But windows phone 8,1 (Silverlight base not supported)

Yes at most,Platform convergence began in Windows Phone 8, which supports a small subset of Windows Runtime APIs, but which differs from Windows in many core areas. In Windows Phone 8.1, there's so much more in common—a much larger API set, a similar app model and life cycle, a shared toolset, a common UI framework—Windows Phone and Windows Store app developer platforms truly have become one, single development platform.
