Point of fakeroot differs from chroot


How does precisely fakeroot differ from chroot, in clear explanation?

Why can't or how can chroot perform the same task?

How precisely LQ members differ from each other, in clear explanation?

Chroot does one thing—run a command with a different root directory.

https://wiki.debian.org/FakeRoot
fakeroot runs a command in an environment where it appears to have root privileges for file manipulation.
