체류하다 is more similar to "reside" is in English. You'll see this word a lot in things related to immigration. 체류자격변경 - Changing residential status (visa type) 한국에 체류하는 외국인 - Foreigners residing in Korea 머무르다 is "to stay", much more general as explained in the other answer

머무르다 has a broader meaning it just means to stay somewhere(hotel, house,city) but 체류하다 is to stay in a country
