A purchase requisition is usually defined as the procedural method by which departments may request the purchase of goods and/or services. Material requisition is the procedure of requesting the material from the vendor.

You get a material on submitting a material requisition. You get material, if it is available in stores. If it is not available, a purchase requisition is generated or triggered based on the material requisition, purchase policy and stock level guidelines.
Your authorize purchase department to do required purchase by submitting a purchase requisition.
For material requirements, normally, users raise materials requisition; stores or ERP system subsequently raises purchase requisition.
For new items or components or services, normally purchase requisitions are raised by the user.
Both requires authorization, quantity, delivery schedule, item codes (for system generated requisitions) and specifications.
Same formats are used for both the requisitions to facilitate generation of purchase requisitions capturing data from material requisition.
It is essential to have provision for items codes, short and/or detailed descriptions; and specifications in both the requisitions.
For better inventory and cost control - user department, project or product may be included.
