the difference is that the wing is attached to the bussom of a bird and an airfoil is attached to the clock of the plane.
there is not much difference between them but a wing is usually attached to a bird or a plane and the airfoil is attached in a planes' engine
The cross section geometry/shape of a wing is called as Airfoil in American English the same is called as Aero foil in British English.
Airfoil
A flying bird's wing is in the shape of an airfoil.
The difference between airfoil and airfoil section is that airfoil is a structure with curved surfaces designed to give the most favorable ratio of lift to drag in a flight, it is used as the basic form of wings, fins, and tailplanes of most aircraft. An airfoil section is the cross- sectional shape or profile of an airfoil. I studied that in sixth grade for a model plane that I did a report on. Researching into things that aren't required can help put you farther into life's riches. Hope I helped.
The upper part of the wing generally produces more lift than the lower part. This is due to the shape of the wing (airfoil) which is designed to create lower pressure above the wing and higher pressure below, resulting in lift.
An airfoil wing creates lift by having a curved shape on its upper surface and a flatter shape on its lower surface. As the wing moves through the air, the air pressure above the wing decreases, creating lift due to the pressure difference between the upper and lower surfaces of the wing. This lift force helps to keep the aircraft airborne.

wingspan is defined as the distance from wing tip to wing tip
The shape of an airplane's wing is called the airfoil; this helps the plane to fly easily while in flight.
The lift force is generated by the shape of the wing (airfoil) and the angle at which it meets the oncoming air. As the airplane moves through the air, the wing's design creates a pressure difference between the top and bottom surfaces, resulting in a net upward force known as lift.
