Hi Nandhini, 

While both record forms and wire adaptors are built on top of Lightning Data Service (LDS), it is important to know that record forms are used to add a Salesforce record or update fields in an existing record on an object and doesn't require additional Apex controllers to create or update record data while wire adaptors can invoke apex controllers. Also, record forms take care of field-level security and sharing for you, so users see only the data they have access to
