Explanation

Both statements are true individually but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

The assertion rightly defines the internet as interconnected computer networks linked by copper wires, fibre-optic cables and wireless connections.

The reason rightly defines the World Wide Web as a collection of interconnected documents.

One describes the underlying network of machines while the other describes a document service carried on it.

Since a set of linked documents does not account for why computers form a network of networks, the reason fails to explain the assertion.

The web is only one of many services, joining email, chat and streaming on the internet.
