Flow: Collection of BPMN elements that are connected together to form a complete process flow, meanings steps to complete a process.
FlowAction: A flow action controls how users interact with the system to complete tasks, i.e. UI. Scenario where there are many parties/users are involved to complete a process Flows are required. Ex. Bank Account opening is a process and its a good example for flow creation, and during this process flow there will be user interaction to be done and for that flow action will be used to capture those information.
Flow --> User submit form --> bank verification --> if everything ok --> open account else cancel account.
User Submit Account opening Form --> Displayed through Flow Action
Bank Account view the form --> Displayed through Flow Action

@AbhishekC1725 can you confirm that the Pega documentation does not help?
Can you check if the explanations on Pega Academy offer you the descriptions you are after?

@MarijeSchillern OK, Checking Pega documentation once again.
