The knights were originally the heavy cavalry. The word knight came to be a title, usually given by a monarch, and was regarded as the lowest level of the nobility.
A vassal was a person who had a relationship of mutual obligation with a lord. The vassal sword loyalty and obedience, and the lord granted land and protection in exchange.
A vassal could be a knight, and a knight could be a vassal, but there was nothing saying they had to be.

Who does a vassal pledge loyalty to?
A vassal was paid for past services (mostly as a knight during the King's wars) with land. In return for getting the land, its title and its income he promised allegiance to the king (his "liege lord") and promised to support him in person and with his local men and supporters in wars to come. It's called the feudal system.

What did a vassal do for his lord?
A vassal was a person who had gone into a mutual obligation with a monarch or feudal lord. The monarch or lord got the vassal's allegiance and homage. In exchange the vassal got land and protection. This was essentially an agreement of mutual support, and was very important from a military perspective. The with the evolution of the Middle Ages, the vassals were divided between a higher group, whose titles and lands became inherited estates, and a lower group, whose holdings were not inherited. The higher group became the titled nobility, and the lower, which was more numerous, remained as vassal knights. These people were required to maintain groups of trained fighting men who could be mustered in times of conflict. The greater members of the nobility had the equivalent of small armies. A simple knight might have only himself and a few followers and servants.
