Stator is part of rotating mechanical device thats sorrounds the rotor to rotate it through the induced magnetic field while the Rotor, is the one who is rotated by produced magnetic field in the stator,.

induction motor never runs at synchronous speed, if it does so there would not be any relative speed between stator flux and rotor and no emf will induce in rotor and we can not apply motor principle as we need current carrying conductor in magnetic field.
The induction motor rotor has different frequency compared to it's stator. The rotor has slip ( s ) frequency. slip = ( Synchronous speed - rotor speed ) / Synchronous speed Synchronous speed = ( 120 * f ) / P where f = supply frequency to the stator. p = no of poles rotor speed is the actual speed the motor is running. Frequency in the rotor = slip * frequency in the stator At starting rotor speed is zero, so slip is one. Let us take the supply frequency is 50 Hz, then rotor frequency is also 50 Hz at starting. The motor attains speed and runs with its full speed at a point of time. Then let us take the slip is 0.04 then the rotor frequency will be 2 Hz.
In induction motors no seprate source is required to start the motor,and motor itself induces emf as the word induction clearly reflects it starting principle while in case of synchronous motors ,motor is synchronised with an external source of emf.
A synchronous motor can operate as either a Generator or a Motor.When a synchronous motor has current applied to the windings on its rotor and the stator is energized with say a 50hz line supply (with little or no physical load) then the exact amount of excitation provided by the rotor can determine whether the stator displays inductive or capacitive properties.If the rotor is under excited (too Little rotor current) the Synchronous Motor will behave as an Inductor, however if the rotor is over excited then the Synchronous Motor will behave like a Capacitor.Hope this helps
An induction motor has an AC power source applied to the stator and an AC source applied to the rotor, through slip rings. The rotor spins a sub synchronous speed, which creates the phase shift between rotor AC and stator AC. This phase shift (known as slip) is what creates the torque.
