It's like the difference between pop and soda. Two different names to describe the same thing: precursor to adult frogs.

Pollywog in zoology, a tadpole - amphibious offspring, not yet in adult form.

Pollywog is the term for a sailor who has not participated in the ritual initiation when crossing the equator for the first time.

A tadpole is more like a fish, like a kid. And a pollywog is more like a frog, like a teenager.
