What is the difference between a jet and an aeroplane?

I’m a teacher and one of my 7-year-old students asked me this yesterday. So, can someone please explain it like I’m 5-7 years old please? Is it really as simple as the engine in the aircraft?

Aeroplane (or airplane) is the generic category. It covers almost all fixed wing aircraft. I only say almost because there is probably some random fixed wing aircraft out there that doesn’t count. People like to make random stuff.

Jets are a subcategory of airplanes that use jet engines for propulsion.
