The question is comparable to "what's the difference between 'I-95' and 'a highway'?".
SOCKS5 is a protocol. TOR is a network that uses that protocol. If you wanted to use SOCKS5, but not through TOR, you'd need another specific server that offers SOCKS5. Yes, TOR is a more vast network than most SOCKS5 servers, but from a user perspective, it's one of any number of SOCKS5 servers that one can use.
