Hi Samhita,

A thesis statement is a sentence or two in your essay or paper that expresses the main argument you intend to get across in the text. It’s a way of getting across your ideas to the reader in the text itself.

Meanwhile, an essay outline is more something for yourself, to help you plan out your structure before you start writing or to show your instructor that you have a clear structure in mind. It’s not something that you include in the final text, but an earlier stage in the writing process.
