A kettle is a way of heating water for hot drinks using electricity. A teapot is an older way of doing it where you typically use a flame to heat it up. (either a gas oven or a fireplace if you're camping)

A kettle is used to heat water. A teapot is where you put the tea bags or leaves. You pour the hot water over the tea and put the lid on, waiting for a time for the tea to infuse or colloquially "brew" before pouring it into the cups you drink from.
