Basically I can say the basic different between Mutable and Immutable.

String is immutable
i.e. Strings cannot be altered. When you alter a string (by adding to it for example), you are actually creating a new string.

But StringBuilder is not immutable
so if u have to alter a string many times, such as mutliple concatenations then use StringBuilder.

Simply says,
Mutable is liable to change.
Immutable is not liable to change.
