SOFTWOOD lumber comes from conifer trees like pine, fir, spruce and cedar. They get their classification for a reason; they can be easily dented with just your fingernail.
Softwood lumber is primarily used in construction, like in framing a house or building
a deck. If you're going to do a DIY project, you're likely going to use a softwood lumber.

Because softwoods are susceptible to rotting from water and fungus, softwood lumber that will be exposed to the elements is often pressure treated with a chemical that preserves the wood.
Things like decks, light posts, swing sets, picnic tables, etc., are often made from pressure treated lumber.
Care should be taken when handling pressure treated wood. Never burn this wood in your fireplace or campfire and don't use it for mulch or compost.

PLYWOOD is heavily used in construction jobs like flooring, roofing and siding. The reason plywood is such a go-to material is that it's strong, lightweight, and rigid. Due to the way it's constructed, a single panel of plywood can span great distances without bending. Even if it does crack, it doesn't crack all the way through.
