Si-C bond is weaker than C-Cl bond, hence it react with water and not CCl4.
That is an easiest explanation.
Reason behind the above is because Si has greater atomic radius than C
Also, carbon does not have low-lying empty d-orbital to get the electrons from water.
Another explanation.
The four chlorine atoms shield the small carbon atom from the water molecule, serving as a steric hindrance while silicon do not get shielded by chlorine.
Next possible explanation.
Sufficient reasons to show why does SiCl4 not only react with water, but violently too
