It’s good you are asking this question. Illustrator is best for creating graphics that can be resized and for designing logos. And photoshop is best for photos and web graphics. But as they can’t be resized once they are created, it’s better to use Illustrator and than export as a JPG.

If you want the simplest comparison, in my opinion, I'd offer this: Use Illustrator for vector images (to create/edit art that scales to any size without pixelation) & Photoshop for raster images (to fine-tune photographic images). That said, there's a huge depth to both. I work with engineers daily & will say that Illustrator is my go-to for nearly everything the team needs.
