You've neither read the documentation, nor actually tried rsync, have you?
scp is an add-on to ssh to do rcp-like work over ssh.
rsync does the same function and a lot more, and doesn't care what the
transport it uses, whether shared memory, in the case of purely local
transfers, or an external transport (rsh, remsh, ssh, a pipe written in
perl, whatever), or it's own tcp transport, used to communicate with a
rsync daemon.
"Why rsync need a shell? For login?" No, for a transport, and then,
only if you chose to use an external
transport, and then, only if you do a non-local transfer.

Subject: How rsync can work only with rsh/ssh
Classification:
Hi,
I use rsync with ssh. My question is: how can
rsync work only with ssh without scp o sftp?
I have installed only rsync and ssh on
my windows machine. Is the scp or sftp
integrated within rsync? Why rsync need
a shell? For login?
Thanks in advance.
