If you're asking if they are the same thing, then no. A password in the Apple context is the string of letters and numbers that you use when you sign into your Apple Account for an Apple service. you likely used yours to post on this site.
A passcode is often a 4 digit number you use to unlock a mobile device, though a longer, 6-item alphanumeric. version is possible. Conceivably if you were using the latter then word and code could be set to the same, though I suspect that would be unusual and very bad security.
