sql is structured query language and plsql is procedural sql.
in sql we write a query to fetch the data from data base. in pl sql we write the set of sql command and execute it in one times. the benefit of plsql is its performance. because all the command execute in one time so input output will be fast.

Sql is a non procedural language i.e. we  say what to do not how to do . Oracle sql engine itself decides how to do.

Where as pl sql is procedural language. We write program logic and control the execution sequence.
