I came across the Ubuntu Software Center application while I was looking through Ubuntu Software in Ubuntu 16.04. It had the same icon and a lot of the same apps as the Software app. Can anyone explain this to me?

Prior to Ubuntu 16.04 the Ubuntu Software Center app was the primary graphical tool for installing software from package repositories on a system running Ubuntu linux.
However, Starting in 16.04 the Ubuntu Software Center was replaced by Ubuntu Software which is based off of Gnome Software.

The classical Ubuntu Software Center (USC) was too old, too slow and practically obsolete. Canonical switched to (GNOME) Software app since 16.04 for being faster and easier on hardware resources.
