say during an exam, it asks you to provide a definition, and you provide one that is exactly word by word from textbook, is that allowed?

Just acknowledge it - referencing in an exam usually doesnt need to be perfect so just an attempt at a reference would suffice.

its 100% plagiarism in an assignment, but for an exam I don't think so. If you can remember the source, you should probs reference it just in case.

Not plagiarism. A definition is a definition. There is only one way to word it really.
