In easier language, your car have some controls like stearing, accelerator, break etc. To drive a car you have to know about only these controlls. But the car is not directly controlled by breaks, accelerator and stearing. These all controls are connected with engine and other machines. And these machines controls the car. Working of these machines are not known by all the persons who drive the car. It is known by mechanics.
We can say that stearing, break, accelerator are Application and engine and machines are the systems.
Similarly, the Application Software is a software that APPLIES to the real life application. For example: Microsoft Word is used to create documents similar to you create manually on paper. Accounting Softwares those are used for accounting which is simallarly done manually on Account Book.
Thus, Application Software are easier to be understood by normal users because they directly deals with the normal real life applications.
But the System Softwares are the softwares which deals with the system or hardware. For example: Disk Management Tools which are used to partition or format the disk.
System Softwares are recommended to be used only by Advanced users who are having advance knowledge of the computer system.

System software is a term used to describe programs installed in a computer system, which help the computer to run more smoothly. They help the user to control and make best use of the computer hardware. Application software on the other hand is a term used to describe programs that help user carry out a specific task.

System software is referring to operating systems like MS Windows or Linux. It is also used to refer to things like database management systems such as MS SQL Server and also Application servers such as Silverstream. Applications software is the programs that actually do stuff directly for the user such as MS Word or Excel or Photoshop. Hope this helps.

the system or "operating system" is what handles the applications. Each application is a software that you use, like Microsoft Word or PhotoShop, etc.
