HTML is a language used to build web pages. XML is a set of standards used to create other languages.
HTML is a markup language defined by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and primarily used to code web-pages. HTML gives a group of pre-defined tags, like <BODY> and <A> and <LINK> that have well-defined uses and generally accepted default styles in modern browsers.
XML isn't a language at all. Rather, it's a particular syntax for setting up a language. It creates that idea of an element, and give those elements content and attributes. XML allows a programmer to create a language that is defined to specifically suit her needs. This is done one of several ways, but the most popular are by creating a Document Type Definition or an XML Schema. These documents define the behavior of the language itself.
HTML and XML are combined in the ubiquitous XHTML 1.0 and 1.1 specifications from the W3C. XHTML is being supplanted by HTML 5. HTML 5, by default, isn't an XML based language, but you can use XML-style code by changing the MIME type to application/html+xml.
A second version of XHTML was in the works at the W3C, but work stopped in December of 2010.

Is XML the same with HTML 5 as it was HTML 4?
There was no XML in HTML 4, and you can only add XML to HTML 5 if you reset the content MIME type. XML hasn't changed. But XML is a language used to define other languages. XML was used to define the standards for XHTML 1.0, the successor to HTML 4. The rules of XML apply in XHTML, because the language is based off of XML. These rules are not, in any way, part of HTML 4. HTML 5 is not, by default, an XML based language. But there is a version that allows one to use the XML (or XHTML) style serialization. If you do this, however, you have to deliver the document using an XML MIME type, like application/html+xml. (Normally, this involves messing with the server a bit.) See the related link for HTML 5 Doctor's take on XML serialization in HTML 5, as well as some other, useful links.
