Which is more accurate an ordinary plastic ruler or a vernier caliper?

The vernier caliper is more accurate that a plastic ruler. That's because the caliper is designed to be used and effectively read to measure small distances. And it does this better than a "regular" ruler because it has a vernier scale built into it. It's like an "amplified ruler" attached to the device that has increased accuracy. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on the vernier caliper and to the one on the vernier scale. Check out the pictures and skim the details. You should be able to pick it up with a bit of thought.
