Definitions:

The Rooting Reflex: When a baby's cheek is touch, the baby will turn its head and search for the nipple.

Sucking Reflex: Infants will suck whatever is placed in their mouth.

Grasping Reflex: Infants will try to grab whatever is placed in their palms or feet.

Moro Reflex: An Infant will stretch their limbs out and then retract them quickly (to be small) when they are scared.

Differences:

These are different because they are all different responses to different stimuli.

The rooting reflex responds to being touched, the sucking to having something put into their mouth, the grasping for something to be put into their hands or feet, and the Moro for being frightened by a loud sound or light.
