When a verb is used as a noun, it is called a Gerund. For example,

Reading helps the mind.

In this examples, the word Reading is a gerund. The word represents an action(reading) and at the same time is used to name an action and is therefore a noun.

The primary purpose of the verb is that it asserts or tells something about a noun or pronoun.

Here the word “Reading”, isn't talking about a person or a subject, it is just used to name a process* and therefore is a noun.

Some other examples,

Walking is good for health.

Eating too much causes indigestion.

Participle

Participles are verb-adjectives.

They look like verbs and are used to add meaning to a noun or pronoun(the purpose of adjectives).

Working woman, spoken English, galloping horse.

Here the words like working, spoken,galloping are verbs (representing an action) and at the same time are used to add meaning to woman(a woman that works), English, horse respectively.

The primary difference is that Gerund is used a noun and participle as an adjective.

The naming of something is the primary purpose of a noun.
