The atomicity aspect of InnoDB transactions refers to the property that a transaction is treated as a single, indivisible unit of work. This means that either all of the changes made by the transaction are committed to the database or none of them are.

The interleaving of InnoDB transactions, on the other hand, refers to the order in which multiple transactions are executed and their changes are committed to the database. This order can affect the final state of the database, particularly in the case of conflicts or dependencies between transactions.

The atomicity aspect of InnoDB transactions ensures that, regardless of their interleaving, each transaction is treated as a complete and consistent unit of work. This helps to maintain the integrity of the database even when multiple transactions are executed concurrently. However, the interleaving of transactions can still impact the overall performance and efficiency of the database, particularly if multiple transactions are contend for the same resources or if there are dependencies or conflicts that require a specific order of execution.
