Use
A multistep task is a formal framework for a workflow definition. When you create a workflow directly in the Workflow Builder, the multistep task is created by the system.
Multistep tasks can be divided into workflow template and workflow tasks.

Reference to workflow definition
A multistep task contains a reference to a workflow definition. The business activity described with the multistep task therefore usually covers several steps in what may be a complex arrangement. This is a major difference when compared with tasks.
