Reg and wire

Hi,
Wires in system verilog can be treated as physical interconnecting lines but regs that are used to store signal values cannot be treated as physical registers.Why not?
As reg is used inside in sequential blocks to hold output values just in the same way as in flip flops/registers , so why it cannot be treated as physical registers?
