It is connected to a membrane called the Nucleus
Ribosomes make Rough ER have a rough appearance. Smooth ER does not have ribosomes, and therefore has a smooth appearance.
ER with ribosomes attached to its surfaces is called rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER). RER is involved in protein synthesis as the ribosomes attached to it synthesize proteins that are then transported and modified within the ER. The RER is characterized by its bumpy appearance due to the presence of ribosomes.
The Rough ER has a surface covered by mitochondria - which appear as small circles, and make the surface "rough" in appearance. The Smooth ER does not have these ribosomes, and so the surface is just one smooth line.
The difference between ruff ER and smooth ER is ruff ER contains attached ribosomes giving it the rough appearance, where as smooth ER does not.

The difference between rough and smooth is the texture. Rough things have a bumpy, abrasive texture. Smooth things have are not rough.

Unlike the rough ER, the smooth ER is not studded with ribosomes. This gives it a smooth appearance.

rough is a little bumpy or hard or tough and smooth is flat and straight and somtimes soft
rough ER has a higher proportion of ribosomes within, hence the 'rough' appearance
Ribosomes are found in rough ER while they are not found in smooth ER. These are what give the "rough" appearance.
