Alliteration is used when there's a repetition of initial consonant sounds, while the rhyme is the repetition of ending sounds in words. Alliteration is also called as head rhyme or initial rhyme for the same reason.

In English grammar, alliteration is a figure of speech used when there's a repetition of the same initial consonant in words that are closely related. For example: “wind whistled wildly” repeats “w” sound, making the literary device used an alliteration.
