Strength --> ability to absord the load/force given without breaking or failure
Stiff/rigid --> ability to maintain the original shape (or with less deformation) when load/force applied to it
Example:
Cookies --> Strength: Low, Stiffness: High
Jelly --> Strength: Low, Stiffness: Low
Baby's milk bottle --> Strength: High, Stiffness: High
Nylon cable tight --> Strength: High, Stiffness: Low
Thanks to University of Liverpool for their very useful website in this matter :)
