What is the type of https://xxx.sharepoint.com/teams/abc

Question

Hi,

I'm working on integrating partner Sharepoint using graph APIs. For site details, I was provided the Sharepoint URL in format of https://xxx.sharepoint.com/teams/abc

I have only seen Sharepoint site URLs in format of https://xxx.sharepoint.com/sites/abc and I'm not aware what /teams/abc is. When asked about, partner came back with it is a Standalone Site but I'm not sure what it means as well.

Can someone help me with what this is and how can I create one?
