There is no difference between cilantro and coriander seeds, because cilantro and coriander are two names for the same plant. Cilantro is merely the Spanish name for a plant that is known in English as coriander.

The term Cilantro is popular for the fresh leaves of the plant in America because most Americans are only familiar with the use of the fresh leaves in Mexican cuisine, where it's known by the Spanish name.
