Dear Praveen55, the link you sent was extremely helpful to learn about the difference between the two. Frankly, I was always confused about it. Thank you.

Prebiotics: a non-digestible food ingredient that promotes the growth of beneficial microorganisms in the intestines.

Probiotics are microorganisms that are claimed to provide health benefits when consumed.
