The substance that undergo oxidation itself and reduce other is called reducing agent whereas the substance that undergo reduction itself and oxidize other is called oxidizing agent.
For example:- CuO + H2 --> Cu + H2O
Copper Oxide Hydrogen Copper Water
In reaction, Cu is undergoing reduction and oxidizing hydrogen. Therefore, Cu is oxidizing agent and H is reducing agent.
