Let's talk about nodes and validators:
An archive node stores the complete state data corresponding to every historical block in addition to what a full node stores, and requires much more disk space than a full node.
The benefit of running your own full node is that you don't have to trust data from a third party: your own node checks whether blocks and transactions comply with the rules.
