The stars move in the opposite direction of earth. So the stars are moved west to east.

Sun is appears to move from east to west but it doesn't move because it is also a star.
So stars are appear to move from east to west.

Retrograde motion is the apparent motion of a planet to move in a direction opposite to that of other bodies within its system, as observed from a particular vantage point. The stars rise in the east and set in the west as a result of the earth's rotation on its axis.

Take an example of a person(A) in rest if there is another person(B) in a train, B will observe that A is moving in backward direction, however it is the train which is moving in forward direction, same will be the case of this question.
This is the principle of Frame of Reference.

Earth rotates from west to east and with respect to the earth we assume the stars move opposite of the earth (east to west).

If we are in train when it is moving with some speed. Then the nature moving opposite to you. Similarly earth rotates west to east then we assumes opposite to it.

Its actually very simple to understand.
EARTH moves.
West ============> East.
West <=========== East.
STAR moves.
Its the same phenomenon which we have often experienced while traveling on any vehicle.
We feel like the trees are running in backward direction.
