Correlation measures the strength and direction of the relationship between two variables without specifying a cause-and-effect relationship, and it does not require distinguishing between dependent and independent variables. Regression, on the other hand, is used to predict the value of an outcome variable based on one or more predictor variables, necessitating the identification of independent (predictor) and dependent (outcome) variables.
