Wait, is roux the same thing as gravy?

[SyaoRan]

Hey folks! I'm a bit confused – is roux the same thing as gravy? They seem similar, but I'm not sure if there's a difference. Any clarifications or insights on this? Thanks a bunch!

Roux is a thickening agent made from flour and fat, while gravy is a sauce that often starts with a roux. So, roux is a base, and gravy is the finished product!

they’re related but not quite the same!
