I understand what bury does, but what does it do differently to a card vs a note?

When you add some new information to anki it can be divided into notes
and cards.
Each note has the information you have inputted in the fields.
For every note, there will be one or more cards.
For example: if you have a template that adds a front and a reverse
card, there will be two cards linked to the same note.
It is more relevant if you have clozes, or use the same note to create
several cards (e.g. Country, capital, currency, language...).

If you bury a note, you will bury all of its cards (maybe the
information you have added is wrong, or it is not formatted
correctly).
If you bury just a card, the other might still appear (maybe only a
piece of information is wrong, and it won't affect the other cards).

Take a look at the Anki manual
(https://apps.ankiweb.net/docs/manual.html#cloze-deletion).
The basics section outline the difference, but it is probably not very clear.
The cloze section might be more helpful to distinguish the difference
between them.

I hope it helps you to understand the difference.
If you still have any doubts, do not hesitate to contact us again.
