Is there a difference between a wheel bearing and a strut bearing? If so , what is the difference?

Thank you in advance for your help.

A wheel bearing is for the wheels to rotate smoothly the strut bearing goes in at the top of the strut and allows the strut to move smoothly.The wheel bearing is a lot stronger then the strut bearing because the wheel bearing supports the weight of the car.
