Answers:
They actually are the same!.

In Japanese cuisine, sushi is vinegared rice, usually topped with other ingredients, including fish, various meats, and vegetables!.

There are various types of sushi: sushi served rolled inside nori (dried and pressed layer sheets of seaweed or algae) called makizushi or rolls; sushi made with toppings laid with hand-formed clumps of rice called nigirizushi; toppings stuffed into a small pouch of fried tofu called inarizushi; and toppings served scattered over a bowl of sushi rice called chirashi-zushi!.

California roll is a type of western sushi invented to suit the American palate!. It consists of avocado, kani kama (imitation crab stick), and cucumber, often made uramaki (with rice on the outside, nori on the inside)

There are lots and lots of different types of sushi!. Sushi is anything made with vinegared rice!.

California rolls are one specific type of sushi, made with crab meat (or fake crab meat sticks), and avocado, in a rolled style!.

But there are lots of different ways of making sushi (rolled, sandwiched, hand formed, stuffed into tofu pockets) and just about anything can be used as a flavouring!.
