Is a stanza the same as a verse?

Well, it depends on what kind of verse you are talking about. One definition of verse is a line of poetry. Using that definition, then no. A stanza is a group of lines, not just one. If you mean a verse of a song, then it could be, but it often is not. A stanza is a group of lines in a poem. Translating a poem into a song sometimes works out so that a stanza is one verse, but sometimes it is two stanzas per verse, or even more.

What is the difference between a line and a verse in a poem?

Verse has two meanings when one applies it to a poem. A single line can be called a verse. When we talk about blank verse, each line of the poem is a verse. (Verse comes from a Latin word meaning 'to turn a corner': in poetry the lines turn a corner each time they end and you begin with a fresh capital letter). But a verse can also mean a 'stanza': a group of lines held together with a rime. O what can ail thee Knight at arms Alone and palely loitering? The sedge is withered from the lake And no birds sing. The rimes here bind four lines together into a verse of four lines (a quatrain). Because of this ambiguity, most poets (and the best critics) say 'stanza' when they mean 'group of lines' and 'line' when they mean 'single line'.
