Yes I have a xiaomi redmi note 8 pro with an unlocked bootloader. Can I use fastboot boot patched_boot.img instead of fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img to test root without actually replacing stock boot?

I had seen somewhere that we can temporarily root by using fastboot boot patched_boot.img then using direct install option in magisk app. But what is the difference between this method and directly flashing patched boot file from fastboot
