If threads are created from a process then all threads will share the same process address space (i.e. stack , registers etc), but when a parent process creates a child process then another process address space gets created for child process. But linux implements Copy on Write feature due to which the child process will share the parent process address space until it is writing on it. So u can easily figure out the difference. And this difference is coming from code.
