Soap is a surfactant generally made from lye and potash. Modern soaps are better classified as detergents which utilize different products to obtain the same results without the harshness of soap.
Shampoo is a synthetic soap. It works by stripping "sebum" from the hair (which is the oil that hair follicles produce).
I think the website below will explain it pretty well:

Shampoo is a detergent, chemically an ionic surfactant. It works by increasing surface tension and floating dirt off.
Soap is animal-based, ie tallow, and has no detergent.

soap is generally more drying to your hair than shampoo

Shampoo contains less detergent which dries the hair out.
