The RTM Requirement Traceability Matrix shows how requirements of different level connect to each other, e.g. how a top level customer requirement evolve via several abstraction levels to a specific low level requirement, e.g. a green button.

The Requirements Specification Document contains the requirements, e.g. The power button shall be green.

You'll find nice templates if you search for MIL STD 498 on Wikipedia.

An example to bring all together:

Top level requirement within an requirement specification document:

SSS0_1001: The system shall respect ISO xyz

Subsystem requirement within an other requirement specification document:

SSS1_1024: The power-on button shall be green.

RTM:

A matrix with level 0n requirements as columns, level 1n+1 requirements as rows and "x" in the cells indicating which level 1n+1 requirements realises which level 0n requirements.

I'm sure, if you do a image search for requirements traceability matrix, you'll find lots examples.
