What is the difference between "picking up" and "picking up"

"Pick up" and "Pick up" have the same pronunciation, similar meaning, and sometimes even the same reading. But there are still two differences:

First, the scope of use is different.

Pick up can only be used to "pick up" an item. Pickup can be used not only to "pick up" an item, but also to "pick up" a thing.

Second, the meanings expressed are not exactly the same.

"Pick" means "choose", but "pick" is not "choose", which is similar to the usual meaning of "pick".

Then, when "pick" means "pick up", these two words are universal.
