Hello, i think the most important difference is that plenty of somehow means enough or more than enough.

example: we take plenty of / a lot of toys while travelling in order to pacify kids.

example: our teacher was surprised when a lot of pupils failed to answer the questions.(here we cannot use plenty of pupils.
