What is common law and how is it different from statutory law?

I’m trying to understand common law and how it works within the legal system. From what I’ve read, common law is based on court decisions and judicial precedents rather than laws passed by legislatures. Can someone explain how common law develops over time and how judges use previous cases to make decisions? Also, how is common law different from statutory law in practice, and which one takes priority when there is a conflict?
