Are html elements the same as tags?

Answer 1

'tag' is in source code context, 'element' in DOM ( Document Object Model ) context, but both stand almost for same thing... and 'tag' designates as well paired or unique opening/closing ones ;)

Answer 2

An HTML element usually consists of a start tag and end tag.
Element: h1.
Tags: start tag - <h1>, closing tag - </h1>
