What TAR and TGZ files are
TAR
TAR (Tape Archive) is a Unix-based archive format that bundles multiple files into a single file without compression. It is commonly combined with gzip or bzip2 for compressed archives.
TGZ
TGZ (or .tar.gz) is a compressed archive format that combines TAR archiving with gzip compression. It is the standard distribution format for software packages on Linux and Unix systems.
