Redo contains each and every DML/DDL statements with commit and rollback information.

Undo contains only before image of data block which uses in any DML operation.

Oracle redo logs are literally a transcript of what goes on inside the database and contain a mine of information

Oracle Database generates an undo and a redo entry for each change made to the database. In simple terms, an undo entry provides the values of data stored before a change and the redo entry provides the values of data stored after a change. The redo entries are written to log buffers in the system global area (SGA) whenever a change occurs. The log writer (LGWR) process then writes the redo entries to the online redo logs,

redo is nothing but redolog file which records all the changes made to the database.

Undo is the previous image of the redolog files.'
