what is 301, 302 redirection in seo?

A 301 redirect, or also known as a permanent redirect, should be put in place to permanently redirect a page. The word ‘permanent’ is there to imply that ALL qualities of the redirected page will be passed on to the detour page.

302: This means that the requested page has moved only temporarily and as such it doesn’t get ranked like the long URL.
 
If you need to change the URL of a page as it is shown in search engine results, we recommend that you use a server-side 301 redirect. This is the best way to ensure that users and search engines are directed to the correct page. The 301 status code means that a page has permanently moved to a new location.
 
301 and 302 redirects are perhaps the most common page redirects a webmaster will need to come to grips with, besides the 404.

The differences between a 301 and 302 redirect can be quite subtle, and it is important to understand what each one does, and how they can affect your website’s performance and SEO efforts.
 
301 redirect is a permanent redirection while 302 is a temporary redirection. 301 redirection is used when we want to redirect any URL on permanent basis while 302 redirection is used for temporary basis.
 
301 redirect - When you use 301 redirect, you show to Google that current page it's permanently moved to another url.

A 302 redirect is a temporary redirect. There are very few instances where this type of redirect should be used, but unfortunately, it is the easiest to implement. This means that many webmasters unfamiliar with search engine mechanics use the wrong type of redirect.
 
1. 301 is for permanent Redirect
2. 302 is for temporary Redirect.
