To drag and drop is a way of moving something with the mouse. You are effectively dragging it from its current position and moving it and then dropping it into its new position. It is done visually, so you can see it happening, unlike when you do the same thing using Cut and Paste commands.

Drag and drop is when you drag a cell then drop it into the destination location. You can move a cell from one place to another, by clicking on the edge of it and dragging. If you click on the edge of the cell while holding the Ctrl key and drag it to the new location, it will copy the cell. If you do it while holding the Shift key, it will insert it between other cells.

Drag and drop refers to ways of moving or copying things using the mouse. If you click on something, you can drag it to a new position, including cells. If you press and hold the Ctrl key when you are dragging, you will copy the item that you are dragging.
