Step-by-step explanation:

From the definition of explicit and implicit, the difference in the description of the two terms can be detected. Implicit is used to express the implied meaning that does not exist. The meaning of an implicit sentence is suggested and does not exist.

On the other hand, explicitly expresses the actual meaning of the sentence. This means that anything that is communicated by an explicit phrase is the direct meaning that is correctly stated without any ambiguity.

Explicit means it is stated obviously and you can't miss explicit things. It is specific. Explicit can also mean inappropriate.

Implicit means something internal, something that is hidden or deep down and not obvious/not specific
