Thread class is a class having defined methods for thread implementation & runnable is an interface where methods needs to be defined as required

Using Thread class we cannot achieve multiple inheritance usinf Runnable interface multiple inheritance can be achieved.

bcoz java does not supports multiplethreading directly,runnable is better approach than threadclass.
ex:
class b{
}
class a extends b extends Thread
{//gives error
}
so better approach is
class a extends b implements Runnable
{
}
