flax is the plant, linseed the seed
According to the Oxford dictionary, flax is the plant and flaxseed or linseed the seeds from it. Theoretically this could mean that linseed oil is made from the seeds alone, flax oil from the whole plant or from a different part of it, but I don't have enough technical knowledge to know whether this is actually the case.
