Are fats oils?

600 views

Me and my girlfriend have been having a discussion for a whole day about whether or not fats are oils. We’ve googled it and the only facts we found is that fats are solids and oils are liquid, we also found that they are the same, we both agreed on that. But she also claims that oils are necessarily plant-based, which I don’t agree with.
She’s studying biology, and knows the chemistry and the proper names for things, while I have less scientific know-how, but know damn well you can use bacon fat as cooking oil. I don’t know if l’m right, moreover, I don’t know how to explain that she is wrong (if she is). Please help.

Is coconut oil actually coconut fat? Not counting if it’s been refined to be liquid at room temperature
