Start method is method of Thread which is implemented for create and run thread. Which will call run() where you put your implementation. If you directly call run() method it is just normal method call and not a new thread. That call will be in main thread.

Tthe start() method performs some other actions before calling the run() method. Due to these startup processes a separate thread is created, i.e. a different path of execution is created and on this path run() is executed.If we call run() directly, no separate thread will be created and it is just like calling any other method of the class which will be executed in the same thread.ThanksGautam
