for example:

when public key is the first (original) key (also known as matser key), extended public key is the extended public key, derived from this master key, no matter how many extended public key, it derives from master key, the corresponding content is exactly the same.

The purpose of

extended public key is that when the node (node) is getting deeper and deeper, there is no need for the previous node to go back to the root node step by step to proofread the public key, and directly use its derived extended public key to do the proofreading.
