Endometrium is what lines the uterus and is made of endometrial tissue. Endometriosis is what happens when you have endometrial tissue OUTSIDE of the uterus. It reacts to your monthly hormone changes the way that the lining of your uterus does (bleeding, etc), which causes pain, scar tissue, adhesions, etc.

Here is a link that explains what it is... http://www.endometriosisassn.org/endo.html
