A ligament is a sheet or band of tough fibrous;usually a white tissue that connects two or more bones, cartilages or holds an organ of the body in place while a joint is a movable or fixed place or part where two bones or elements of a Skeleton join together. They both mean the same thing which is holding, joining and connecting two or more bones, etc in place or together.
