The differences have nothing to do with how hard or soft the wood is. A wood is defined as a "hardwood" if it comes from a deciduous tree. (Usually defined as a broadleaf tree that drops it's leaves seasonally.) A "softwood" is defined as coming from an evergreen tree. A perfect example of a soft hardwood is Balsa wood. The balsa tree is deciduous, so by definition balsa is a hardwood, but the wood is so soft you can dent it with your fingernail.

One is soft, and the other one is hard. DUH! (Not realy, hardwood is wood from decidous trees, and soft wood is from evergreens.)
