Foundation: It is the portion of a building that is built up underneath the ground level and keeps direct contact with sub-strata. It transfers the complete load of the building to the subsoil in which it stands in such a manner that settlement of the soil is not collapsed in shear.
Footing: It is the bottom most part of a vertical structure (column, wall) that finally transmits the weight from walls and columns to the soil or bedrock.
Footing is mainly the segment of foundation of any modern structure.
