The difference between a “command” or a specific module execution in Ansible

Question

I start with Ansible, and I found that there is a module called commandthat allows me to execute any command on the remote node.

I saw a couple of examples where the initial settings are solved using commandspecific modules instead. For example, as far as I know, both of them perform the same task:

- name: Install git using apt module
  apt:
    name: git
    state: present

- name: Install git using command
  command: apt-get install git

So my question is: is there any difference or any reason to use a module instead of a command?
