G'day Common Sense, Thank you for your question. According to Wikipedia,"An egg roll is made by wrapping a combination of chopped vegetables (often mostly cabbage), meat, and sometimes noodles, in a sheet of dough, dipping the dough in egg or an egg wash, then deep frying it. It can be closed or open ended. When compared with its cousin, the spring roll, the egg roll is generally larger; has a thicker, puffier skin; is crunchier; and has more filling than the spring roll. However, the terms "spring roll" and "egg roll" are often used somewhat interchangeably. The egg roll dough is wheat-based while the spring roll is sometimes rice-based." I have attached sources for your reference.

The difference between an egg roll and a spring roll is the wrapper. Egg roll wrappers have egg in them, the yolks to be exact and the wrappers are tougher and a little thicker. The wrappers for spring rolls, eaten usually in the spring time for festivals does NOT have egg in it and is very thin and fine, almost stretchy. Neither of these is ever dipped in egg, though they are often sealed with an egg wash but often water or a paste is used.

The wrapper has egg in it.

That's because the dough of the wrapper is made using eggs.
