What is the difference between a template and a clone?

What will be an ideal response?

The main difference between a template and a clone is that the clone is a running VM and the template is not. Templates are molds that contain a preconfigured, preloaded VM that can be used to "stamp" out copies of a commonly used server or virtual desktop. Virtualization software that support templates have a check box filter on a virtual machine that allows the administrator flag the VM as a template. Virtual machines that are flagged as templates cannot be run, but they can be used to create new VMs with all the features included in the template.
