What is the difference in behaviour between props.children and a regular prop?

What is the difference (if any) in the way React handles 'props.children' versus if I were simply to add the same JSX in as a prop? Is this just simply for better presentation of code?

<Parent>
    <Child />
    <Child />
</Parent>

vs. 

<Parent otherChildren={<><Child /><Child /></>} />

The main difference is that props.children can be declared both in props and enclosed in JSX tag of the component. Beside that, the behavior is exactly the same.
