The difference between the two is that a homozygote is an organism that has two identical genes at the same place on two corresponding chromosomes and a heterozygote desribes a cell or orangism that has two or more different versions of alleles of at least one of its genes

A homozygote refers to an individual with two identical alleles at a specific gene locus, while a heterozygote has two different alleles at the same gene locus. Homozygotes are either homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive, while heterozygotes are individuals with one dominant and one recessive allele.
