sich merken = to remember something (active, learn something to remember it)
Vormerken = Tag Something for doing later (maybe only in mind). Like tasks on a to-do list.

They are simply 2 different words, I don't thnk they have any meaning in common.
"sich merken": to memorise
"vormerken": to reserve/book, to place on hold (appointment/order/...)

@Halala Thank you very much. So can vormerken be used in place of reservieren??

@Halala like for eg reserving a room, can I use vormerken instead of ein Zimmer reservieren? Or is it used in any other particular context??
- German
"vormerken" can refer to both "reservieren" as well as "to mark/note/write down". It means "jemanden, etwas im Voraus als zu berücksichtigend eintragen"

You can mostly use both "reservieren" and "vormerken" in my opinion, besides very specific situations. When you don't really "reserve" something physical, or the "reservation" is of oral or casual nature, you tend to use "vormerken" simply because "reservieren" or "Reservierung" implies a certain standard, a more or less proper form.
