Hey buddy !!!
Here's the answer you are looking for
Prokaryotes have nucleoid whereas eukaryotes have nucleus
♦So the basic difference between nucleoid and nucleus comes out to be the membrane. That is nucleus contains a membrane around it called as nuclear membrane but nucleoid lacks a membrane.
Another difference is that DNA present in nucleus is attached to histone protein whereas DNA present in nucleoid lacks histone protein and hence called as naked DNA.
Nucleoid is present only in monerans like methanogens, Ascomycetes, bluegreen alage, mycoplasma etc
But nucleus is present in most of the higher plants and animals like us, trees, etc.

as we know that there are two types of cells - the prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell....so eukaryotic cell has nucleus...which is well defined and has a membranous covering whereas in prokaryotic or primitive types of cells such as bacteria have nucleoids which is not well defined and its contents float
