What's the difference between? display: flow-root; & overflow:hidden

When would you use display: flow-root;

or would you not use it?

I never heard of that property value before.

Has anyone ever used it?

Well, that must be at least a couple dozen more than me.

I am well known, though, for vegetarian flatulence.
