Put simply, inherited traits are those passed down by your parents and are found in your genes e.g. big nose, big ears, little feet. Aquired Traits are traits that are not passed down but instead "aquired" since birth. An example of this is: scars, pierced ears, the length of your hair, the loss of a limb.
