Explanation:
In phrases, an idea is not expressed clearly or you can say is incomplete. There might not be a subject or a verb or a predicate. That means it is a phrase. If it's a clause that means it can kind of stand alone (though there are two kind of clauses which will be taught sooner or later or is already taught but Ig you just focus on this for now).
Clauses is quite a complex thing especially when it comes with independent and dependent clauses (it sucks though I don't know how it is for others).
