When you submit the sitemap file to webmaster for crawling, it crawls the submitted urls of your site. It only indexes some of the urls. Crawling means only crawl the website & indexing means to show the urls which are processed/indexed.

Crawling is something that search engines bot reading your website URL and its all kind data.

Indexing is a process that have been done after crawling. Google produce a result for users query which might related to your website's data like Title and descriptions and all those On page optimization factors.

CRAWLING: Crawling take place when there is successful fetching of unique URIs   which can be traced from valid links from other webpages because not all links we see on web are crawlable. In Crawling google send spider and  look at your site and takes data from it,.

INDEXING:Indexing take place where crawled URIs are processed.There are many URIs that are processed but only few of them whose content will be processed  through indexing. Indexing is where google incorporate information into the database so that it appears in the search result.

Google or any of the search engines crawls the complete website & only indexes some of it's pages. So crawling means to to consider everything & indexing means only displaying few data.

A web directory could be likened to the traditional yellow phone book directory. With a web directory, you have a bunch of websites that are placed in various categories. When you click on the category page, you will have a list of websites. Each website will have a title that comes in the form of a link, and they will all have descriptions which tell you what the site is about. By reading these descriptions, you will be able to determine whether or not you're interested in visiting the website. Link farms are the exact opposite.

Crawling takes place when there is a successful fetching of unique URIs which can be traced from valid links from other web pages. It's like Pacman following all those dots and eating them, only that in the case of crawling, it's the search engine robots that follow the links.

Indexing takes place after a crawled URIs are processed. Note that there may be several URIs that are crawled but there could be fewer of them whose content will be processed through indexing. The following reasons could be the causes of non-indexing of a previously crawled page.
