well, MOSFET is simply the most known type of FET. There are some others like J-FET or "mixed bipolar and FET" IGBT transistors around us every day. For example, nearly all car electronic ignition systems utilize IGBT as ignitor - an electronic equivalent of contact breaker used in classic ignition systems.
