Answer / shyam
Roles are one of the ways you can control access to records. They also impact reports (e.g. "My Teams" filter). Roles come into play if your security model (OWDs) are set to private. A little more on Roles and how they impact security:

Profiles help determine record privileges. Assuming the User can see the record, Profiles determine what the User can do, view or edit on that record. Profiles control other system privileges as well (mass email, export data, etc)

Answer / narayan
Hello,
Roles are logically assigned to users to give the newer functionality of Roles (Menus etc), but profiles are assigned to give the authorizations.
1.profile is a set of authorization objects, but a role is a set of profiles.
2.In a profile we can add up to 150 authorization objects, but in role there is no limit.
3.Profile can not be manually editable, but role can be manually editable.
4.In a profile we can not create the user menu, but in role we can create the user menu.
5.profile is the subset of role, but role is not the subset of profile.
6.profile can be created only for the transaction codes, but in role we can add tcodes,web addresses,and reports etc.
