What is the difference between eshell (M-x eshell) and shell (M-x shell) in emacs. Both seems to work same but when i try to run su command or sudo command in eshell then it create a buffer named tramp/su root:localhost. but don't do the work which i want to do as super user.
What is difference between shell and eshell in emacs?

In short
eshellis a shell emulator (written in Emacs-Lisp), whileshellis an interface toshor whatever (external) system shell you're using.eshellshould behave like most "Bourne-style" shells that you're familiar with, but does not have the external dependency thatshellhas. Thus, it can be run on any system that runs emacs.
