Invention is creating something new, something that no one has thought about before. Discovery is finding something that has already been invented, but not hearing about it right away. However, what you are discovering must be something of interest to you. For example, I won't be too excited about discovering some weird smelling, disgusting food in another country but I would be interested and excited in discovering new territory in another country.
Invention matters in writing because it allows you to develop your own style of writing, based on your own rules.
