What is the difference between compound leaves and simple leaves?

The blades of simple leaves are undivided, although they may have deep lobes. By contrast, the blades of compound leaves consist of clearly separated leaflets. Each leaflet usually has its own petiole, which is called a petiolule. There are two types of compound leaves: pinnately compound leaves and palmately compound leaves. The leaflets in pinnately compound leaves arise from either side of an axis called the rachis, which is an extension of the petiole. The leaflets in palmately compound leaves originate at the tip of the petiole and lack the rachis.
