When two devices would like to communicate with each other they would use a defined protocol. Protocol is set of rules describing how those two devices can communicate in way that receiver would understand what sender “had in mind” while sending message. Protocol description is usually description of messages (signals) that can be sent and received, it is also description for particular procedures and functions.
Now, our two devices know “how to talk” to each other, but they need to be connected somehow. For this purpose an Interface would be defined. Interface would be generally another device, with or without dedicated software, that would allow connecting, inter-working and changing messages(signals) between our devices – connected using this interface.
Sometimes when connecting two devices using interface there is a need for two protocols. First protocol would allow first device to control how works the second one. This kind of protocol is part of control plane. Second protocol would send just raw data from one device to another. This would be a part of user plane.

Figure 1. User and Control Plane.
Often when two devices connected over the interface not one protocol would be used but set of protocol divided into layers. Each layer with its specific dedicated tasks.
Figure 2. Sample Layer Stack.
Important to mention that each layer may has its own user and control plane. What is control plane for one protocol can be (would be) user plane for protocol located below in stack.
