Basically, proteins are long chains of amino acids, which are linked together through a chemical bond known as a peptide bond. They can be hundreds of amino acids in length. Peptides, which qualify as proteins, are just shorter chains of amino acids, generally between 2 and 100 amino acids. In biochemistry, amino acids are also referred to as residues; thus a 5 residue polypeptide is just a 5 amino acid long peptide, linked together with a peptide bond between each residue.

Why polypeptide chains are always called as protein but Proteins are not always polypeptide chains?
Peptides (from the Greek πεπτίδια, "small digestibles") are short polymers formed from the linking, in a defined order, of α-amino acids. The link between one amino acid residue and the next is known as an amide bond or a peptide bond. Proteins are polypeptide molecules (or consist of multiple polypeptide subunits). The distinction is that peptides are short and polypeptides/proteins are long.
What chain is sequences of amino acids that is the foundation for the basic structure of a protein?
polypeptide chain
