Remember this!
Pipe and tube are both cylindrical and hollow objects used to transport liquids, gases, or objects. However, pipes are typically straight and rigid, used for longer distances, and made of metal or plastic. On the other hand, tubes can be flexible or curved, used for shorter distances or dispensing substances, and made of a wider range of materials.
