 In the context of Step Functions:
 
 - State machines are called _workflows_.<br/>
   Workflows are a series of event-driven steps.
-- Each step in a workflow is called _state_.
-- _Task states_ represent units of work performed by **another AWS service**, like calling another service or API.<br/>
-  Instances of running workflows performing tasks are called executions in Step Functions.
