What is the difference between prototypal inheritance and classical inheritance?

In prototypal inheritance, objects directly inherit from other objects, and the relationship is based on prototypes. Each object has a prototype, and it can inherit properties and methods from that prototype. In contrast, classical inheritance involves classes and instances. Objects are created from classes, and inheritance is defined by the class hierarchy.

This is an important distinction, as in classical inheritance models inheritance occurs when an object instance inherits from a class and a subclass can inherit from a parent class. Prototypal inheritance on the other hand supports an object inheriting from any other object rather than from classes.
