A product is the result of multiplication, and a sum is the result of addition. Multiplication and addition are alike in that multiplication is really just repeated addition. For example, to multiply 3x5 is the same as 3+3+3+3+3 or 5+5+5. These will all result in either the product of 15 or the sum of 15.
Multiplication is repeated addition. For example if you add 3+3+3, that equals 9. You are adding 3, 3 times, so it becomes the multiplication problem 3x3=9.
For counting numbers, multiplication can be considered a shorthand form of writing repeated additions. For example, 4 x 3 is the same as 3 + 3 + 3 + 3.
