A WordPress theme, not to be confused with a WordPress template, is a collection of templates and stylesheets (made up of CSS coding) used to define the appearance & functionality and overall display of a WordPress powered website.

A WordPress plugin is a piece of software built with a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website.
