    Based from what I have researched TCP/IP, here is what I found in the website of Yale Education:
    • IP - is responsible for moving packet of data from node to node. IP forwards each packet based on a four byte destination address (the IP number). The Internet authorities assign ranges of numbers to different organizations. The organizations assign groups of their numbers to departments. IP operates on gateway machines that move data from department to organization to region and then around the world.
    • TCP - is responsible for verifying the correct delivery of data from client to server. Data can be lost in the intermediate network. TCP adds support to detect errors or lost data and to trigger retransmission until the data is correctly and completely received.

    TCP and IP are two different layers of protocols in an internet communication system. Simply saying those contain rules on how data can be and should sent over different media between different nodes/computers.

    By the way its not just TCP that can detect and correct errors, in fact any other protocol layer can be made to do so.
