The heads of executive departments, such as the Secretary of State or Secretary of Defense, can be fired at the will of the president. They serve at the pleasure of the president and can be removed from their position at any time.
On the other hand, heads of regulatory agencies often have fixed terms and cannot be easily fired by the president unless there is extreme misconduct. They have more independence and security in their positions compared to heads of executive departments.
I hope this clears up any confusion.
