Explanation

A simile explicitly states a comparison using 'like' or 'as' (making the comparison direct and stated). A metaphor suggests or implies a comparison without explicitly stating it. Similarly, 'stated' is explicit and direct, while 'suggested' is implied without being directly said. The relationship is 'explicit:implicit' form of the same concept.
