Squat Vs. Deadlift?

I have a stupid question, please don't judge.
What's the difference between a squat and a deadlift? Does anyone have like, a side-by-side video or anything? I feel really dumb but there seems to be a difference that I'm not seeing, either physically or conceptually.
Thanks!

The Difference Between The Squat And The Deadlift. Just to be clear, they may both work your legs but they are NOT the same movement. ... The Squat focuses on knee bend and dropping your butt toward the ground to work your legs while the Deadilft focuses more on hinging at the hips to load the glutes. (just as the picture that @shadow2soul has indicated above)
