(the clue's in the name) One is conical and one is round-bottomed. A conical flask is better for sitting on a work surface as its base is flat. A round-bottomed flask is more often suspended i.e. over a heater of some sort.

a volumetric flask is a volume calibrated glass ware. It has a mark that indicates a certain volume e.g a mark at 100 ml, unlike graduated glass ware. It's also an accurate measure glass ware, i,e can be used in spectrophotometry. See image on related link

A conical flask on the other hand is graduated glassware But it's NOT accurate which means that when you measure a certain volume , it may vary a few mls above or below the chosen volume.

A volumetric flask is more accurate than a graduated cylinder. The only advantage the graduated cylinder has to a volumetric flask in measuring volume is that the graduated cylinder can measure many different volumes, whereas a volumetric flask only measures one volume. (You can have different volumetric flasks of different volumes, but you can only use it for that one volume. I.e. a 100mL volumetric flask can only accurately measure 100mL, and a 5mL volumetric flask can only accurately measure 5mL)

A Conical Flask is conical and a beaker is a cylinder.

A conical Flask has a long neck for stopping anything big to go through and a beaker has a lip.

Conical flasks (or Erlenmeyer flasks) are preferred because there's less chance of splashing. Beakers have wide mouths and flasks do not.

As the pipette is far more accurate than a flask by a factor 10 to 100 one should NOT use a volumetric flask except for standard volumes over 100 ml.
