a process is the whole program listed in the task manager, and a thread is bits of the whole program(multi-threading is only possible with multicore processors or with HT)

Process is a whole program running; but it doesn't necessary have to show up in taskbar, although it is listed as a whole running program in task manager.

I assume you are wholly familiar with multitasking as a user; a thread is like a multitasking program internal to one single program and controlled programmatically; true multithreading only happens in multi-core (either multi-diecast or in its evolved form) but multithreading in single-core had been around for years too using a time-slice technique.

Process:
active tasks in system is claled process.
it may be ur executing c or java anything programm.The processes are also called as heavy weight process,because it uses lots of system resources.
whrer as thread shares the resources amongs them ,hence these are also caqlled as Light weight process(LWP)
