The unit that holds the keys on an actual piano is often referred to as the keyboard. However, "a keyboard" usually refers to the electronic version of the piano.
Some keyboards are digital pianos (and marketed as such) with very few sounds other than "piano." Other keyboards are complex digital sound libraries or synthesizers. Some have very few keys, like midi samplers, some have the full 88-key range and most are somewhere in between. Some have weighted keys similar to feel as a piano and some do not.
Digital pianos and keyboards do not need to be tuned like pianos and they are far more portable.

Classical? Piano.
80′s Dance? Keyboard.
But that’s also not a hard and fast rule. Discuss your goals with the teacher and let him/her help you decide.
Keyboard – plays recoded sounds in response to the keys pressed
Piano – a musical instrument which creates sounds through percussion and strings.
Piano is a big wooden box with keys, hammers, strings and pedals. Combine them together to make music.
Keyboard is an electronic device with keys (not as many as piano), and it uses electronics and wires going to speakers to make similar music.
learn to play one, you can probably learn the other. But setup of keyboard and use of pedals on piano are different.
1.A keyboard is an electronic counterpart of piano.
2.There are 88 keys in a standard piano. Keyboards come in a variety of numbers of keys, from 49 to 61 to 76.
3.PIANO VS. KEYBOARD #2: The feel of the keys: it’s like the difference between typing on a laptop and typing on a real keyboard connected to a desktop computer. Laptop keys: Keyboard keys:: Desktop Keys: Piano Keys
