"Wet" means that something has a lot of liquid, such as water, on or inside of it (like cloth or a sponge). "Damp", however, means that there is only a little liquid inside of it, and therefore will not leave liquid on your hand if you touch it. A towel may be damp after you use it and let it sit for a while.
