They are two different words for the same thing.

"Participle" is a noun, it refers to the actual word that serves as a participle in the sentence. "Participial" is an adjective, usually referred to as a "participial phrase." A participial phrase includes the modifiers which surround the participle.

That's true Ouisch, but in practice, the two terms are used synonymously on the web. If okose Googled these phrases, he might not be any the wiser. Some pages, such as the one quoted below, use the two terms almost alternately, as if they don't know they're even doing it.
