Just to add to what Lorenz has already explained ...
In programming terms then model.createResource() does not change the
contents of the model, it just gives you a java object which could use
to lookup property values or add them.
OntModel.createOntClass() will change the model, it will add a statement
of the form:
[] a owl:Class
or
[] a rdfs:Class
depending on which language profile your OntModel is.

It is plain RDF, please have a look at the RDF data model.
It's just an RDF resource, neither an RDF property nor an RDFS class.
This will be inferred once you use it in specific triples, see the
RDF/RDFS entailment rules

I am confuse about RDF Resource, with createResource() I do not know a
class is created, an individual or a property is created?
Man drives Car.
Man and Car are classes here, drives predicates, so in this case what will
be the Resource?
