The mic input is designed to accept weaker signal levels than the line in. If you plug a mic into the line in your volume levels will probably be very low. If you plug a line input into the mic jack you will have disorted sound. The line levels overpower the mic circuit.
The difference between the Mic and Line in sockets is the way the Soundcard hardware treats them.

The Line In socket is used with an external power source such as a Hi-Fi, wheras the Mic socket is powered by the sound card.
