Google for such questions. you will get lots of information.
but in simple terms -

in both dbms & rdbms the data is stored in the form of
rows and columns.
but the main difference between the dbms and rdbms is
we can establish the relation between the tables in rdbms.
in case of dbms we cannot establish relation between tables.
