The logistics of bringing every decision to the plebiscite would grind daily government making to an halt. Therefore, indirect democracies, in theory, send representatives from smaller and smaller groups into a tiered decision making processes. The representatives vote on behalf hundreds, and the representative of the hundreds vote on behalf of the tens of thousands, and so forth. Since the entire electorate is not voting on the issue, the democracy is indirect.

How is a direct democracy different from an indirect democracy and which form does the US have?

In a direct (or radical)l democracy the citizens met in regular assembly, considering and deciding on all matters of government. A Council implements these decisions. This is far more democratic than today's indirect (representative) democracy where elected representatives form a parliament and vote how they or their party want, not necessarily the way their electors want. The US has a representative democracy - that is the citizens elect representatives to Congress who are supposed to represent their views.
