Lemons come from the tree Citrus limon. Limes come from Citrus latifolia. They share the same genus, but different species. Cherries and Peaches also share a genus between them.
The difference is their genetic make-up. There are even differences between species that can make 2 plants different.

Lemons and limes are very closely related species.
However, lemons are bigger and more acidic than limes. they also are yellow when ripe, whereas limes are green.
