"Entities" is the term that in Drupal 7 is used for nodes, comments, taxonomy terms, and users. Third-party modules can then define new entity types.

In Drupal 8, the API to handle entities has been extended, and entities are now object of specific classes implementing the interface; support for saving entities in the database has been added, where in Drupal 7 saving an entity was done by procedural functions.
