Woven fabric is usually done on a loom by weaving threads of fabric together to make a full piece. The problem is the edges are usually free unless you sew along them to secure them in place. Also because of the way it's made it's only stretchy on the bias meaning in a diagonal direction.
Knit fabric however is done by knitting threads together so instead of the threads being perpendicular like in the woven fabric they're actually integrated into each other by forming loops. This allows knitted fabric to be stretched in any direction since it's much looser than woven fabric.

Difference between woven and non woven fabrics?
A woven fabric uses fibres that have been spun into yarn and then threaded in and out of each other as a warp and weft using a loom. Bonded fabric used the fibres loose, wet out with a polymer which when dry bonds the fibres together. Felt is a good example of a bonded fabric. As a word of caution: The term Bonded fabric is sometimes used to refer to a woven fabric that has had a coating "bonded" to it to make it waterproof. PUL (polyurethane Laminated) fabric is an example.
