What others have said it’s basically right about floppy disks, however there is another factor…
The actual recording media for “floppy” disks (12″ flexible all the way down to 3 1/4 hard shelled disks) was a thin plastic sheet.
Hard disks use multiple metal disks.
So, the actual physical disks inside were either flexible or solid.
