Are Yams and Sweet Potatoes The Same?

No they are not the same, though some people tend to use them interchangeably. Yams have a harder brownish outside and a little more starchy inside. Yams can also grow to be very large.

Where as the sweet potato has a lighter reddish brown outside and more of a softer buttery inside. Sweet potatoes tend to stay around the same size, but maybe slightly larger than a russet potato.
