Let's suppose create a simple menu item type "single article" in the backend.
Than how the Joomla works i.e.from showing the view part and attaching the menu to the article. That in the com_menu folder how does the workflow?
Which files of com_menus get executed in which order?
Please help me with this

The com_menus component only exists in administrator. That component allows you to create the menu's and their items in the backend.
It is not used for presenting the menu in the frontend. The mod_menu is used both in frontend and backend (there is one for each) to present the menu's.
It is only a small part in creating the complete document.

Can you suggest me a method to call model file function in com_menu using controller file function in com_content?

No such thing as com_menu, assume you mean com_menus. See controller/items.php. It shows how to do that in function rebuild.
Note that this uses the model from the same component. To use a model from a different component you call JLoader::register to tell it where it is.

It is a collection of functionality. Comparable with code libraries in 3gl. Unfortunately Joomla standardized on this bad OOD.
When creating your own component you should not require it, provided you create a proper object model.
