What is the difference between a subdomain and a subdirectory?

A subdirectory (or subfolder) is part of the main domain’s URL structure, while a subdomain is a separate section of the domain.
– Subdirectory: domain.me/blog (where blog is a folder within domain.me).
– Subdomain: blog.domain.me (where blog functions as a separate section of the site).
There is ongoing debate in SEO about which structure is better, as both have pros and cons.
