Hydrophilic is having an affinity for water; readily absorbing or dissolving in water.( love water) Hydrophobic is repelling, tending not to combine with, or incapable of dissolving in water.(hate water)
Hydrophobic substances repel water, while hydrophilic substances attract water.
the hydrophilic easier than hydrophobic substances
Hydrophobic molecules repel water and are nonpolar, while hydrophilic molecules attract water and are polar. Hydrophilic coatings are commonly used to make surfaces wettable by water, allowing for better adhesion or compatibility with aqueous solutions.
it is the opposite. Hydrophobic is water hating, hydrophilic is water loving. ie, hydrophobic substances avoid water, hydrophilic are attracted

Starches can be both hydrophobic and hydrophilic, although most of them are hydrophilic.
Hydrophilic
Hydrophilic molecules are repulsed by surrounding hydrophobic solvent. Hydrophilic tends to connect with hydrophilic, and hydrophobic with hydrophobic. If the protein as a part which is hydrophobic, then it will twist itself to accommodate those new connections, and when they change their form, they denature.
N-H bonds are typically considered hydrophilic due to the electronegativity difference between nitrogen and hydrogen, leading to partial charges on the atoms and the ability to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules.
Soap is both hydrophobic and hydrophilic. It has a hydrophobic tail that repels water and a hydrophilic head that attracts water, allowing it to interact with both water and oils.
Hydrophilic substances incline to get together with polar substances like water or some ions while hydrophobic substances tend to get together with nonpolar substances like organic compounds. You can understand these identities by imagining that the more two substances are likely in polarity, the eaiser they get together, because they are fit in electic charges so that the energy of the mixture system is lower. Though this theory is rough, hope it can help you underdstand the the difference between hydrophilic and hydrophobic.
