Insert allows to insert new text into existing text, without deleting the existing text. Overwrite writes overthe existing text with the new text.
For example, if my cursor was at the beginning of the word "apple", and I typed "bad", then in insert mode I would now have the text "badapple", but in overwrite mode I would have the text "badle".
