A hop means number of different networks a packet has to go through in order to reach its final destination address.

The main difference between single & multi-hop network is the number of hops a packet takes to reach the final destination .

Single hop network :—

In a single hop network , when a packet leaves the source it just takes a single hop (goes through another network or you can say it passes through another router from a different network) before reaching its destination address.

Multi-hop network :—

In a multi-hop network a packet has to go through 2 or more networks in order to reach its destination address.

While taking a hop through a different network a packet may go through various devices like Routers, network bridges, switches, etc…
