A pseudo random number generator is not actualy producing random numbers, just a series of numbers you can not predict, or you dont know. For you it looks random, but it would produce the same thing in the same situation, aka its deterministic.

And actual random number generator takes in some kind of external “randomness” like cosmic rays, radiation background noise.
