There is only one difference between the group and the team. That is unity. Any set of
people who stand together without any purpose or goal can be called as Group.

Team. For example: If you assign work to a group, then the work will be divided
between the members and each member will work out their part, without any
coordination with the other members of the group. On the other hand, if you assign a
project to a team, they will collectively take the responsibility and work together with
the goal to achieve the desired result. In a team, the members will cooperate and
coordinate with each other at all times.
