"inheritance" refers to the the transfer of legal rights from one person to another once the first person dies.
For example, if I have property, and my son is listed as my heir, that property will legally become the property of my son via inheritance.
Kingship is normally passed on by inheritance. Legally a king's heir becomes king the moment that king dies.
This process - the passing on of kingship from one person to another - is what is known as the succession.
Most monarchies have complicated rules about inheritance and who is or is not allowed to succeed. There is an order of succession: for example, Queen Elizabeth II's heir is Prince Charles, who will succeed her and become King of the United Kingdom once she dies, unless he is already dead or becomes ineligible, in which case the crown will pass to his eldest son, Prince William (second in the line of succession), and after that his second son, Prince Harry (third in the line of succession), and so on.
