Value type:

The memory allocated for the value type content or assigned value is stored on the stack. When we create any variable, space is allocated to that variable and then a value can be assigned to that variable. Also if we want to copy the value of that variable to another variable, its value gets copied and that creates two different variables.

Reference Type:

It holds the reference to the address of the object but not the object directly. Reference types represent the address of the variable and assigning a reference variable to another does not copy the data but it creates a second copy of the reference which represents the same location on the heap as the original value. Reference values are stored on the heap and when the reference variable is no longer required it gets marked for garbage collection.
