Why does @todo_list.todo_items.new(todo_item_params) in create need to pass parameters but not within the new function?

def new @todo_list = TodoList.find(params[:todo_list_id]) @todo_item = @todo_list.todo_items.new end

def create @todo_list = TodoList.find(params[:todo_list_id]) @todo_item = @todo_list.todo_items.new(todo_item_params) if @todo_item.save flash[:success] = "Added todo list item." redirect_to todo_list_todo_items_path else flash[:error] = "There was a problem adding that todo list item." render action: :new end end

private def todo_item_params params[:todo_item].permit(:content) end
