In C# 4.0, we have Task in the System.Threading.Tasks namespace. What is the true difference between Thread and Task. I did some sample program(help taken from MSDN) for my own sake of learning with 

Parallel.Invoke 
Parallel.For 
Parallel.ForEach

but have many doubts as the idea is not so clear.

I have initially searched in Stackoverflow for a similar type of question but may be with this question title I was not able to get the same. If anyone knows about the same type of question being posted here earlier, kindly give the reference of the link.

    A task is something you want done.

    A thread is one of the many possible workers which performs that task.

    In .NET 4.0 terms, a Task represents an asynchronous operation. Thread(s) are used to complete that operation by breaking the work up into chunks and assigning to separate threads.
