Both must be in solution, aqueous, to fit the definition, which is; an acidic solution has enough hydronium ion concentration to hydroxide concentration to have a pH lower than 7.0, while a basic solution has enough hydroxide ion concentration to be at a pH higher than 7.0.

An acid and base are different in definition. Subtle, but a real difference.
