THHN is a single-conductor wire typically used in conduit for indoor wiring, while Romex is a brand of non-metallic sheathed cable that contains multiple insulated conductors in a flexible plastic jacket. THHN must be used inside conduit, while Romex can be run along surfaces or in walls without conduit.
