Hello,

Homonyms are pronounce same. Like bark means sound of dog and bark means skin of tree. So they are homonyms. If they are  pronounce not same then they are heteronyms. Like bow means the front of ship and bow means a ranged weapon.

Homophones are same things when two or more words pronouncing same but meaning different. Like hear means hearing or sound and here means place or position.

All the best.
