A Knot is the generic name for any loop or entanglement of flexible material, created either intentionally or accidentally, by a tucked end or bight. the word also has a very precise meaning : a knot, as distinct from a bend or hitch, secures two ends of the same material, e.g., a bandage, parcel string or shoelace. in addition, a small stuff - thus all angler's knots are by definition merely knots, irrespective of form or function.

 

A bend is a knot that joins two separated ropes or others bits of cordage together

 

A hitch attaches a line to a rail, post,ring or perhaps to another rope (or even onto itself)
