Can you expand on your question? Are you asking why we use Threads instead of Tasks?

yes Threads instead of Tasks why? is it the memory optimization or other purpose ?

Tasks are what FreeRTOS calls Threads. They have their own stack, their own execution state and are time-sliced between. They are threads, just with a different name.
