Answer

  • Better to say soft and hard links.

    Soft link - this is just a pointer to file location. In case file is moved - soft link will remain the same, but will point to NULL.

    Hard link - this is more low-level file representation in file system. In case file is moved - hard link will remain same and will point correctly, as it's linked not to file location, but to file descriptor itself.
