What is the difference between row types and structures?

As far as I understand, both focus on one line of a table and both say something about the data type in each field of that row. I see them both as 'blueprints' for how a table could look. Could anyone explain the difference between the two in terms of what they hold and what they are used for?

"Row type": see Line type - ABAP Keyword Documentation (sap.com). Can be of type structure or any other type.

"Structure": see Structure - ABAP Keyword Documentation (sap.com). Can refer to a type or a data object.
