Different people have different preferences so always keep your readership in mind. In very general terms, tables are better for retaining exact figures, graphs are better at summarising data.

Is a graph the same thing as a table?

kind of, but it matters what kind of table or graph it is Well, not exactly, but you could make a graph from a table. For instance you might record the height of a bean plant each day in a table, then use these numbers, one as the x coordinate and the other as the y coordinate to form a graph which would give you a continuous picture of the growth of the plant. From the graph you could determine the height of the plant at any given hour or minute, not just at the end of each day.
