SQL*Plus is merely a DBA tool, usefull for manipulating teh database. Normally only DBA and developers would use SQL*Plus.

PL/SQL is 'scripting language', so to speak. It allows procedures and etc.. to be stored in oracle that contain greater logic than possible with SQL alone. It is a very usefull tool.

Sorry my explanation isn't more detailed but the big difference is that one is a tool and one is a 'language'. (however, SQL*Plus also has it's own syntax within itself)
