Explanation:

Both Primary Key and Candidate Key are the attributes that are used to access tuples from a table. These (Primary key and Candidate key) are also can be used to create a relationship between two tables.

A Candidate Key can be any column or a combination of columns that can qualify as a unique key in the database. Each Candidate Key can qualify as a Primary Key.
A Primary Key is a column or a combination of columns that uniquely identify a record. The primary key is a minimal super key, so there is one and only one primary key in any relationship.

<em> The main difference between them is that a primary key is unique but there can be many candidate keys. </em>
