Each software requires updates to keep them up to date with the changing dynamics and to enhance their offering. In the dictionary of Crypto, it is termed as “forks”. As you have heard already, Soft Fork and Hard Fork are two types of forks. 

If put in simple words, the only difference between the two forks is that Soft Fork also supports the prior version of the software whereas Hard Fork is a permanent alteration which is not compatible with the earlier version.
