Both techniques differ in the tool used. Knitting uses needles which hold "rows" of live stitches, whereas traditional crochet uses a single hook for the one live stitch.
The resulting fabric is different in weight and overall appearance. Crochet fabric is thicker and stronger than knitted fabric, even using the same yarn and same size hook/needles. The difference comes from the fact that even the simplest crochet stitch is made of 2 loops, wrapped around one or two strands of yarn, and knitted stitches are a single loop in a single previous loop (single strand of yarn).

Interweave crochet is otherwise known as Afghan stitches or Tunisian crochet. It uses stitches that mimic knitting making a finished fabric that looks knitted but is in fact crocheted with a one hook needle. Simple stitch and knit stitch are examples of this form of crochet.
