A hypothesis is the first step to elaborate a theory; it is not a true explanation.
A tentative explanation in research is called a hypothesis. The hypothesis is based on observation. The general explanation of the observation is called a theory. In other words, a theory is the result of testing a hypothesis.
Both a hypothesis and a theory offer an explanation of some observed phenomenon. The difference is that a hypothesis must have confirmation to become a theory.

In the scientific world that could be a theory, hypothesis, qualitative observation, prediction, or an inference. You can choose one.

theory
It is a scientific theory
A hypothesis is a temporary explanation for some observation. It is then tested and, if is found to be incorrect, a new one has to be formed. If found to be correct, it becomes a theory. If that theory is later found to have a counter-example it is modified (hypothesis -> theory - same process) or a completely new hypothesis proposed and tested. The hypothesis alwasy comes before the theory. it is a practical explanation that the scientist develops that accounts for a theory.
