The sites below should help you with the differences. As to which is better, that is a matter of personal taste, there is no "best." It's all a matter of which you prefer.

yams are Imported from the Caribbean and sweet potatoes are grown in the u.s.
Yams are long and tube like, sweet potatoes are round and fat.
I think yams are a lot better then sweet potatoes.

They are not the same thing but are similar. Many supermarkets generally use the term Yams incorrectly.

They are, in fact, one and the same. There are different strains of yams that might have different flavors and textures but the term is used interchangeably.
