Parmigiano-Reggiano is a "grana", a hard, grainy cheese, cooked but not pressed, named after the producing areas of Parma and Reggio Emilia, in Emilia-Romagna, Italy. It is widely described by connoisseurs as the king of cheeses. Cheeses resembling Parmigiano-Reggiano but not made in this area are known as parmesan cheese.
Mozzarella is a generic term for the several kinds of Italian fresh cheese that are made using spinning and then cutting (hence the name: the Italian verb mozzare actually means to cut): mozzarella di latte di bufala made from unpasteurized water buffalo's milk; mozzarella di bufala campana made only from Campania's buffalo milk; mozzarella fior di latte made from fresh pasteurized or unpasteurized cow's milk; and mozarella made from mixtures, sometimes smoked, and those stored in preservatives

They're completely different cheeses. It's akin to asking the difference between Mozerella cheese and Chedder cheese. They're made using different methods and originate in different areas. Mozerella originated near Naples whereas Parmesan originated in Parma, Italy.

parm is a harder salty cheese. mozarella is a soft mild cheese. If you want a strech to a dish the mozarella is a great bet.

Parma has more flavor, its salter
Mozarella is less flavorful cheese.
If you need to use a universal cheese, than mozarella is good. But parma is more for a particular flavor you're seeking from you're meal. I usually prefer parma over mozarella.

If you've ever had takeout pizza. Parmasan is a bit like the salty yellowish stuff that comes with the pizza ,in the packets (Not the red pepper packets) and mozzerella is what is on top of the pizza.
