Answer
'map' transforms data; 'flatMap' transforms data into a new Publisher.
In reactive streams, 'map' is used for one-to-one transformations, while 'flatMap' is for one-to-many transformations, often leading to new asynchronous processing. For example, 'map' can convert product prices from USD to EUR, while 'flatMap' can fetch detailed product reviews for each product asynchronously.
