A process is a collection of threads that share the same virtual memory. A process has at least one thread of execution, and a thread always run in a process context.

Thread is used to allocate and distribute the CPU work scheduling, many programs a re assigned to different threads and they are most of the time independent of each other.

Eg: We can open many instance of MS word and MS Excel in our PC, all are monitored and managed by threads.

Process is nothing but a program in execution, many threads can run under a process or many thread can combined under the one thread.
