What’s the difference between a secret phrase and a private key?

What’s the difference between a secret phrase and a private key?

Answer with a syllogism :

├ A private key is used to spend the funds you hold.

├ Your wallet derives your private key from your secret phrase.

├ A secret phrase is a way to derive your private key.

NB: You will soon be able to extract the private key from your XDEFI Wallet via a special feature.
