What is the Difference between the direct traffic and the organic traffic?

Direct traffic can include visits that result from typing the URL directly into a browser, as the simple definition suggests.
Organic traffic on the other hand, are those visits which are tracked by another entity,usually because they have arrived through search engines, but also from other sources.
