The difference between them and plot is that the theme is explaining the subject of a piece of writing or a persons thoughts vs plot which is different parts of the story in a certain sequence of events

Theme is the writer's message about life, whereas plot describes the main events and sequence of a story. A key difference is that themes are often short and can be said in one sentence, whereas the plot of a story can be lengthy.
