Both seems familiar by the defination but are different.
STRESS produced in the object or body is due to the Force applied over it.
And hence change in area of the body leads to change in the dimensions of its area and hecne called as stress.
Flor STRAIN the change occurs in the length hence change in the domension of the lenght of the object or body leads to the strain.
