What is the difference between rock-cut and structural temple? Rock cut temples were built by carving out of a rock. So, a rock was carved out and cut until it gained the required shape. Panch rathas complex at Mahabalipuram is a good example.

The structural temple architecture began after the rock cut architecture. The rock cut architecture, as far as I know, saw its climax in Narasimha group of Pallava art of Dravidian School.
The structural temples were built using blocks of rock instead of a whole block and this became a popular architectural style since in rock cut architecture, carving out a whole rock was tedious.
Here is an example:
Shore temple at Mahabalipuram constructed by Rajasimha group of Pallava Art.

This group was successor to the Narasimha group.
