Depends for which OS you are talking. Socket is SW abstraction of networking endpoint, used as the interface to the application. In Java, C# it is represented by object, in Linux, Unix it is a file. 

Port is just a property of a socket you have specify if you want to receive or send packetsestablish a communication. To receieve datapacket from a socket you have to bind it to specific local port and NIC (with local IP address) or all NICs (INADDR_ANY is specified in the bind call). To send packet, you have to specify remote port and remote IP of the remote socket.
