tiles and objects and such

a long while back I watched one of the adventures in game development chapters that featured showing tiles and objects(not refering to OOP) but they didn't seem much different and I began to wonder while developing a level editor, what do you consider a tile and what do you call as an object, something you can interact with?

In our engine, tiles are the bottom layer (floors, grasses, grounds), and objects are rendered above them (tables, chairs, cabinets, doors, etc.)

Items are things that have rigid body physics, which can be picked up and thrown around (they aren't tile-based).
