The main difference between stack and heap is, Stack is last in first out. But heap is not related to that that concept. Heap is related to dynamic memory allocation. Heap is the area where the elements are stored in a dma. All the malloc() , realloc() and calloc() are related to dynamic memory alloction concepts.

malloc takes single argument. But calloc function takes two arguments.
malloc initialize memory chunks with garbage value but calloc initialize with zero.
Both are stored in heap memory and allocate memory at dynamic time.
For security purpose malloc is not prefere than calloc.
