Answer:
Sushi means rice in Japanese and refers to the prepared raw or cook seafood or other item over rice. Sashimi is raw fish without rice sliced to be as tender as possible. The freshest I have had seemed to melt in my mouth.
Usually In the U.S Sushi is the rolls or just a name for all of it, whereas sashimi is the simple piece of raw fish on a shaped piece of rice. That is the simple answer, the details are actually more complicated with Japanese language, you could google it if that's too simple.
sushi is fish and the next is seaweed.
sushi are those rolls that contains cucumber, avocado, shrimp, eel, or anything like that. and sashimi are those thinly sliced raw fish on top of a small ball of rice, they can be serve without the rice too
Sashimi means slices of raw fish or raw something like octopus legs, scallops. etc. And when you see a slice or slices of raw fish or raw something on the top of flavored rice or inside flavored rice, that's sushi. I think that's easier way to differentiate the two.

But there are actually different types of "sushi", of course. I think you probably know that there is sushi that doesn't contain raw fish or raw something but vegetables like cucumbers, avocado, etc. And that's called sushi, too.

And also if you see something like this:

this is also a type of sushi, which is called "chirashizushi." You can't see the sushi rice under shrimp, ika, hamachi, takuwan on the second picture, but there is sushi rice hidden there.

Anyway, my point is that sushi must contain sushi rice. If there is no sushi rice but raw fish or raw something, that's sashimi.
sushi is prepared with rice. sushi maki is when the "fish" and rice is rolled in nori (seaweed) then cut into bite size pieces (you also call it the cut roll). sashimi is just the "fish" no rice.
