Why " onclick='submit()' " does not validate the form?

Why "<button onclick="submit()"> Submit</button>" don't work for validations?
and why "<input type="submit" value="submit">" works?

 <form action="#" method="post">
        <input type="text" name="val" required><br>
        <button onclick="submit()">Submit</button>
        <input type="submit" value="submit">
    </form>

That is going to try to call a javascript function called submit. I assume you don't have such a function.

If you wanted to use javascript to submit the form, you would create a submit function like so:

function submit() {
    document.getElementById("form_ID").submit();
}

And you'd have to give your form an ID. I've used form_ID in the function, but you can choose something else.
