Wallets are where you store your cryptocurrencies in a decentralized way and where you have your private keys and own your funds, exchanges are for buying and selling and leaving your cryptocurrencies there means that you are delegating your cryptocurrencies to a third party and they are not yours until they are out of there.

Exchange platforms can also be used to store crypto if you choose to, so it's pretty much the same thing as a crypto wallet. The major difference is that with an exchange platform, you have the ability to directly exchange or covert your crypto to flat currency.
