ROC Curves summarize the trade-off between the True Positive Rate and False Positive Rate using different probability thresholds.
Precision-Recall curves summarize the trade-off between the True Positive Rate and the Positive predictive value using different probability thresholds.
ROC curves are appropriate when the target class is balanced, whereas Precision-Recall curves are suitable for imbalanced datasets.
Here is a good article for deeper understanding.
