Public company is the one whose stocks are publicly traded, and private companies are not.

Don’t sell your stocks.
Roughly speaking, all companies are born private, and if the owners want, they can go public (through a complicated process). You know how you can go to a restaurant to buy food, go to a butcher to buy meat, go to a fishmonger to buy fish? Well you can go to a stock market to buy other people companies. They can only sell stocks of your companies if you go to them and tell them, “Hey, can you help me sell some of my stocks.” That is called going public.
