An illusion. The Earth really orbits the Sun. The Earth is held in orbit by the Suns gravity (or the dent in spacetime made by the mass of the Sun if you believe in Einstein's theory of relativity).

Is it true seasons are a result of earth's tilted orbit?

No. Earth's orbit is NOT tilted. Earth orbits the Sun in the same plane as the rest of the planets. What IS tilted is Earth's axis of spin (as compared to the plane of its orbit), It is this tilt of this axis that causes the seasons as Earth makes its annual orbit of the Sun.
