Difference Between record and rowtype

What's [the difference between] a record (which is a pseudo 'p' type) and
a rowtype (which's a complex 'c' type).

The main difference is that you can't declare a table column as having
a pseudotype. RECORD is restricted to uses where the system can
determine the specific row type from context, whereas a 'c' type is
effectively self-contained and will work anywhere.
