A 'Motor' is a 'Driver'.
The Electrical Energy supplied to a motor is converted to Mechanical Energy of rotation. This mechanical energy is Transferred by a shaft to Drive another machine.
(A vehicle engine is also called a 'Motor' as it's driving the wheels of a vehicle via a drive-shaft).

A 'Pump' is a 'Driven Machine' as is a 'Compressor' or a Washing machine...etc.
A Pump is also a mechanical device used to convert its Energy to that of Pressure in a liquid in order to move the liquid from a low elevation to a higher elevation or, from a low pressure system to a higher pressure system.
Pumps move liquids, compressors move gases.
