A Dynamic Directory is where all pages are generated by the scripts on 'the fly'. In other words, the scripts generate all content shown to end users on 'the fly'.
A Static Directory is where the complete directory tree with all it’s pages are generated before-hand as normal HTML files. This enables users to browse your directory like they would ordinary web pages – resulting in saving a lot of CPU resources on your host/server.
