Composite vs composite resin filling

Question

Asked for Female, 18 Years

I had to have two of my molars filled. The dentist said she put a composite resin filling on the first tooth. But she used only a composite filling on the second one as it was "soft." What does this mean? Also, what is the difference between composite and composite resin fillings?
