running test from maven vs cucumber test runner

1What is the different between running a test from maven 
2and cucumber test runner class?

4In my project I use cucumber + Junit. to generate reports, 
5I use maven-cucumber-reporting.
6This report is only generated when I run my test as a maven 
7lifecycle verify. Becuase this is how it works according to
8its configuration. 
9So if I run my test from runner file, it does not trigger
10the maven lifecycle. It only runs that test. In order to
11run any maven lifecycle we have to run as a maven command 
12which starts with 'mvn'.
