What is difference between a rocket and space shuttles?

Rockets are vehicles designed to propel themselves into space by expelling exhaust gases at high speed, typically using a single-stage or multi-stage design. Space shuttles, on the other hand, are a specific type of spacecraft that combine both rocket and glider elements; they are designed to carry astronauts and cargo to and from orbit while being reusable. While rockets can be used solely for launching payloads, space shuttles have the capability to return to Earth and land like an airplane. Essentially, all space shuttles are rockets, but not all rockets are space shuttles.
