Short answer

WordPress.com is a managed WordPress platform by Automattic (the company behind WooCommerce and Jetpack). It differs from WordPress.org, which you install on your own hosting: on WordPress.com the server, updates and security are the platform's job, and higher plans let you install plugins and themes and run a WooCommerce store. A good fit if you want WordPress without the technical upkeep.
