First, the trachea is part of the respiratory system while the esophagus is part of the digestive system of human and some of the animals. Second, the trachea is the tube in air-breathing vertibrates that conducts air from the throat to the bronchi. It is commonly called windpipe and is made up of numerous cartilaginous half rings which is adjacent to the esophagus. Lying in front of the esophagus. While esophagus, a mascular tube about 10 inches long passes behind the trachea and the heart. The passage down which food moves between the throat and the stomach. In short, trachea is where the air passes while esophagus is where the food passes.

Why doesn't the windpipe collapse even in the absence of air in it?
trachea is soft tube. If air is not passing, it might break down or collapse.but the incomplete cartilaginous rings prevent it.think the trachea as a balloon.when air is passing the sides are not touching.when the air is taken out it crumbles down. EASY!!
