A stove is a device that heats up, inside or on top or both. You can find them in the kitchen, for cooking food. Usually they contain an oven and a hob together.
You can also get a 'wood burning stove', which is an oven that you place wood inside, for heating your house.
A hob is the top part of a stove, that produces heat for saucepans and similar. It can be independent of a stove too.

@NibblyPig Thank you!
So the stove is the whole thing (hobs on top and usually oven below) and the hob is just the circle, right?

@P87 I think technically that hob refers to the whole top section, so usually 4 different burners. "I put my saucepan on the hob" or "I need to clean the hob, I spilled soup all over it." Really, I haven't thought much about naming beyond that! I personally never use the word 'stove' because to me it sounds old fashioned. The only exception is "wood burning stove" which is generally not in the kitchen but in the living room to burn wood for heat. I would use the word 'oven' and 'hob', and 'burner' for one of the circles... but if it's electric, I suppose it's not 'burner'... in that case I might say "one of the hobs is broken", which is probably technically wrong, but I can't think what other word I would use!
