catalog.element - detailed product page
catalog.item - product card in the product list, mainly in catalog.section, if I'm not confused

catalog.element is a component that is designed to display detailed information about a product. Inside it, queries are made to the database, and an arResult array is formed with a description of the product.
catalog.item is a component that is usually used to display information about a product inside a list of products. It differs from catalog.element in that it does not receive any product information itself. In fact, this is a wrapper, in the parameters of which an ALREADY FORMED data set is passed. It is convenient to use it in various list components, for example in catalog.section.
