table is a floating environment, intended to hold a table. It will
number the caption for you, and make sure the table fits nicely on a
page.
tabular is the table itself, and usually resides within a table
environment. It can be used outside the table environment though.
\begin{table}
\caption{}
\begin{tabular}{...}
. . .
\end{tabular}
\end{table}
