What is the difference between a router and a modem?

I’m confused, I used to think that modem are an old thing now and nobody uses them as modems have a SIM installed in them for internet connection through ISP and it’s like a pen-drive which is insertable to a any PC like normal Pen-drives.

Routers and modems used to come in two different boxes. They are still are but they used to be too. I digress. Nowadays, the modem and router are built together in a single box.

The modem brings in signals from the outside into your home. A router route those signals to different machines and users in your home.
