Roto vs. Green Screen?

Howdy all,

I’m trying to learn more about CG and VFX and filmmaking in general so I have a lot of newb questions.

I think I get what roto is (kinda like a frame-by-frame mask so you can cut out part of a shot and paste it onto another?), and I’m pretty sure what green screen is, but I can’t have it straight because it seems like green screen would replace roto. What am I missing here? Why would anyone go through all the work of roto when they could just green screen it?
