Primary key is unique identifier in a table while foreign key is a field in one table which is primary key in other table.
Primary key can't accept null values while foreign key can accept multiple null values.
Only one primary key is possible for a table but multiple foreign keys are possible which link multiple tables to parent table
Edit: This might help

Primary key is unique and not null but foreign key is may or may not be unique and nulls accepted and also duplicate rows allowed
