What are pot orders and sole orders?

Have been trying to wrap my head around this but I’m still a little confused. I know that bookrunners can take on both pot and sole orders but underwriters can only take on sole orders? What is the difference between the two?

Ipsa soluta eos doloremque quia sit beatae. Et ab fugiat temporibus praesentium saepe nemo neque. Voluptatem esse est dolores neque. Libero quaerat voluptatum at excepturi adipisci nihil. Vitae aut repudiandae enim nulla dolorum aliquam pariatur.

Veniam quo qui nemo. Ipsum dolorum libero voluptas dolor. Maiores exercitationem minima quas ut voluptas.

Assumenda dolorum mollitia eum omnis id. Inventore ducimus expedita dolorem repudiandae aliquam quaerat sint sit. Suscipit architecto velit sit recusandae quia odit libero. Quasi velit vitae aspernatur hic sed asperiores animi.

Aut consequatur sed autem temporibus. Sed ea soluta nostrum praesentium consequuntur iure. Sapiente molestiae sint sint beatae quo. Corrupti eius aut quam optio. Doloremque debitis quos harum quaerat.
