I know both of them are stack when held together form "Golgi bodies" but that was about similarity what's the difference?

SUMMARY
The discussion clarifies the distinction between cisternae and dictyosomes, emphasizing that a dictyosome is a stack of multiple cisternae that collectively form the Golgi apparatus. While both terms relate to the structure of Golgi bodies, the key difference lies in their definitions: cisternae are individual membrane-bound compartments, whereas dictyosomes refer to the entire stack of these compartments. Understanding this differentiation is crucial for comprehending cellular organization and function.
