During the solar eclipse you see the corona and chromosphere of the sun, which are the outermost layers. These layers are very diffuse and their light is normally drowned out by that of the much brighter photosphere. During a total solar eclipse the photosphere is blocked from view, allowing you to see the dimmer layers.

What is the difference between the umbra and penumbra of a solar eclipse?

Those words refer to regions within a shadow. The 'umbra' is the region of total shadow, from within which none of the light source is visible. In the umbra of the moon's shadow, none of the sun is visible, and you're witnessing a 'total' solar eclipse. The penumbra is the area of partial shadow, from within which part but not all of the light source is visible. In the penumbra of the moon's shadow, part but not all of the sun is visible, and you're witnessing a 'partial' solar eclipse.
