Imagine a tic-tac-toe board where each square represents a cell in the grid. The rows and columns on the board form a grid structure.
Table: A table is similar to a grid, but it is typically used to organize data in a structured manner, with rows representing records and columns representing attributes.
Matrix: A matrix is also a type of grid, but it specifically refers to a rectangular array of numbers or elements arranged in rows and columns.
