What is the difference between link and hyperlink?

The terms “link” and “hyperlink” are related concepts used in the context of the internet and digital technology. Here’s an explanation of the difference between the two:

Link:
A link is a reference or connection between two separate pieces of information or data. A link is typically a clickable element on a webpage that directs the user to another webpage, resource, or location within the same webpage.
Links can be textual (e.g., a word or phrase that is clickable) or graphical (e.g., an image or button that is clickable).
Links can point to various destinations, such as other web pages, images, documents, videos, or specific sections within a webpage.

Hyperlink:
The purpose of a hyperlink is to facilitate navigation between various web pages or resources on the internet.
Typically, HTML code creates hyperlinks, which are clickable elements that direct the user to the specified destination when clicked.
Although people frequently use the term “hyperlink” interchangeably with “link,” it specifically refers to links that connect web pages or online resources.
In summary, all hyperlinks are links, but not all links are hyperlinks. Hyperlinks are a subset of links that specifically refer to clickable elements on web pages that direct users to other web pages or resources on the internet.
