Answer

Sills— It is sheet like body of igneous rock. It is formed when magma forces its way between two layers of sedimentary rocks and cools and solidifies there.

Dykes— It is sheet like body of intrusive igneous rock. When magma is forced upwards, it fills vertical cracks or fissures in existing rock and it hardens there to form dykes.
