Assert and Verify fulfill the same role, the difference in their functionality is what happens when a check fails.

If you use an assert command and the check fails then the test case terminates, so no subsequent checks are run. If you use a verify command and the check fails then the test case doesn't terminate and subsequent checks can be run.

You can find further information in the Selenium documentation: Assertion or Verification?
