What’s the difference between whirlpool and hop backs?

In the process of brewing, the brewmaster usually add different types hops for brewing different styles beer. However for clarify the wort, we also need filter the substance after add the hops, they can go through different process, for example whirlpool. Also filter by hop backs.
But what’s the difference between them?

The function of whirlpool and hop backs is different though both of them are used for filter.

For the whirlpool tank can remove the hot coagulum and hops Pellets.

For the hop backs, it has filter plate inside.
It is used to filter the Leaf-hops (some brewmaster add the leaf/fresh hops into the wort after whirlpool to add more aroma into the wort).
However the whirlpool can’t remove the Leaf-hops.
