What is a difference between Canvas and Artboard in Adobe XD?

Answer

The Canvas can have zero, one or more Artboards placed on it. Imagine the canvas is a table and each artboard is a sheet of paper. You can organize the artboards on the canvas the same way as you can organize papers on the table.

That's great, I can imagine sheets of paper on a table. But why do we _need_ artboards? Why can't we create our illustrations directly on the canvas – like in Photoshop??
