I have what may seem like a dumb question, could someone explain the difference between tubular tires and clincher tires. Thank you

Tubular or "sew-up" tyres are ... tubular and are glued onto the a rim, which has no flanges, just a rounded bed where the tyre is seated. "Tubs" have a very lightweight tube inside the casing, which is sewn on the inside and covered by a woven tape. Patching is a complicated procedure.
Clinchers have a bead (usually wire or kevlar) which is hooked under rim sidewall flanges, then inflated to hold them on. They, of course, have separate tubes.
There are also tubeless tyres.
