Why do we use buildscript?

Hello, I didn't catch why we put "spring-boot-gradle-plugin" into buildscript. Why it is not in dependencies? I looked at

https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/organizing_build_logic.html#sec:build_script_external_dependencies.

However, how I know it is external dependency instead of dependency?
