What's the difference between tapestry and embroidery?

Keeping this in view, what is the difference between tapestry and needlepoint?

Although needlepoint may be worked in a variety of stitches, many needlepoint designs use only a simply tent stitch and rely upon colour changes in the yarn to construct the pattern.

Furthermore, what type of fabric do you use for embroidery? even-weave fabrics are best for surface embroidery, while loosely woven fabrics are ideal for counted thread, pulled thread, and drawn thread techniques. The fiber content for evenweave fabric can be cotton, linen, rayon and polyester blends—or even hemp or bamboo.
