Nurbs (surfaces, as opposed to curves), polygons and subdivision surfaces are all types of surfaces or geometry and all behave differently because they all use different types of math to calculate them, thats the best way to explain it i guess and they all have advantages and disadvantages, best to start playing with them to learn what they are.
