They are tasks.. They are closely related with the processes but they are not the same. They are basically, a set of instructions loaded into the memory. Cpu executes them.. So they are closely related but they are more fundemental.. So, generally speaking, there is a strong and positive corelation between task and process count. However; there are cases where you see one heavy process runs parallel threads, each doing some tasks concurrently and that increases the load average dramatically.. So I guess you understand the concept.
