@shikhasoni1  Metadata profile is metadata schema field set with some default values . So , if a metadata profile is applied to a folder , all assets of that folder will have certain metadata fields having default field values defined in profile.

 

CSV bulk import is an OOTB utility to update metadata (in bulk usually ) of assets based on assetPath , column values & column header defined in csv.  It will updated only assets defined in assetPath column , only update metadata defined in csv column header with specified values.

@shikhasoni1  Consider Metadata Profile a form containing metadata fields like title, description etc.

CSV bulk import helps generate an excel file containing this metadata info for adding metadata values to the fields. More info on Metadata Profiles: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-manager-64/assets/administer/metadata-profiles.html?lang=en
