What is the difference between drywall and plaster?

Drywall is a panel made of gypsum that is installed over studs to create walls and ceilings, while plaster is a more traditional method that involves applying multiple layers of wet material over a surface. Drywall is quicker and more cost-effective to install, whereas plaster is more durable and allows for smoother or decorative finishes.
