A simple definition of Agile is to do things swiftly whereas waterfall model refers to top-down approach where requirements are planned upfront and next phases start one after another.
The agile methodology is a technique of managing the project by dividing the tasks into smaller sections of the work with the involvement of frequent evaluations and revision of the plans. Here, the complete project is segmented down in the form of small manageable units for the software development approach. It is based on the development model of the computational process where requirements and clarifications nurture through a cooperative determination of self-disciplined and cross-functional groups and their businesses.
The waterfall model is a method of project management that is characterized by linear sequential phases and a stable strategy of effort. Here, the progress moves mostly in one track through the segments of gathering requirement, examination, design and development, testing and placement, and finally, maintenance. In short, the completed product is provided to the consumer at the final stage of the deployment phase.
