key flexfields gives the key information of the organisation i.e., financial information of the oraganisation relating to, how to enter the transactions, how to generate the reports, how to modify the transactions, etc. with the help of kff's the user can retrive the data what ever the organisation want. the kff's are the mandatory flexfields.
In GL there only one key flexfield i.e., Accounting key flexfield.

Decriptive flexfileds are used for describing the attributes of a segment. the Dff's gives the additional information about the each segment related to the oraganisation. these are the optional fields in applications.

Flexfield is a field made up of segments or sub fields.

As simple, Flexfiled is a flexible data field that your organization can customize to your business needs with out programming. Oracle APPS uses two types of FF:
Key Flexfileds - Key FF is a field made up of segments, where each segment has a value and meaning. You can think of a KFF as an intelligent key. KFF will capture key company data like Account, Cost center etc...,
Descriptive FF - DFF is used to capture additional information like company MD etc..,
