The statup-config is the configuration that is loaded when the router boots or powers up.

The runnning-config is the current configuration in the router. It may have been modified since the last boot and so might be different.

Having these two provides a nice safety feature. Changes can be made to the running-config and if something badly goes wrong, you can restart the router and get back to the configuration without the changes.
