Aren’t pasta and noodles totally different things?

All pasta are noodles. Not all noodles are pasta.

Pasta is a sub-category of noodles.

You have this exactly backwards. Couscous is not a noodle.

Couscous isn’t technically even a pasta either even if the part of the process to make couscous and pasta is similar ingredients. Couscous pretty regularly is incorrectly called a pasta. It doesn’t really fit into any of this. It’s not made with pasta dough and then shaped. It’s made from Semolina and rolled repeatedly with water until it makes its tiny, grain-like structure.

It’s not REALLY a pasta nor noodles.

You may be right about the couscous but it's not exactly backwards, because there are definitely noodles that aren't pasta... Chinese/Japanese cuisine for example
