Explanation:

A phrase is said to be restrictive (or otherwise called essential), if the word it modifies is narrowed down and it describes which noun it is writing about. They do not have commas and they are essential to the meaning of the sentence.

On the other hand, a nonrestrictive phrase describes a word whose meaning is already clear. As a result of this, it is not essential to the meaning of a sentence, therefore commas are used.
