They are not the same at all. Squid have for example red blood awhile octopuses have blue blood. They are categorized in a whole different species. Though they do look almost the same they are still not. Squid can be found in deeper depths than octopuses, and they don't have the same behaviors.

It's a marine animal like the octopus but not an octopus.

Both are Coleoidea, which are grouped by their number of tentacles: Squid (Decapodiformes) have 10 while octopus (Octopodiformes) have 8.
