'보다' is an action verb meaning "to see/watch/look at something.” On the other hand, '보이다' is derived from '보다' by adding '이' between '보' and '다,' which creates the passive from of '보다,' meaning “to be seen/watched.”
For example,
별을 봐요. I see the stars.
별이 보여요. The stars are seen.
Additionally, ‘보이다’ can have another meaning, “to show something to someone.” This is the causative from of 보다.
For example,
제가 친구한테 별을 보여 줬어요. I showed the stars to my friend.
