'RStudio's R system() does not see conda, but the terminal on the same macbook does (and terminal R too)

Why does this happen?

Inside RStudio's R console:

> system("conda --info")
sh: conda: command not found
Warning message:
In system("conda --info") : error in running command

But the MacBook terminal sees it:

(base) 192:~ avoda$ conda --version
conda 4.10.3

So I tried checking whether the R available in terminal saw conda and it does:

(base) 192:~ avoda$ R

So the terminal and terminal-R see conda, but RStudio's R does not. Why does that happen?

PS: Terminal-R and RStudio-console-R seem to be the same R-software version (4.1.0), but have different environments?
