Hardened tree sap is also known as resin or amber. It is created when the sap from a tree solidifies and hardens over time. This material has been used for various purposes, including making jewelry, ornaments, and even in the preservation of fossils.
It varies from tree to tree, but for the most part it is sticky.
Sap comes out of a tree through internal pressure that builds up and forces the sap to flow through special tubes called xylem. When the tree is injured or tapped (for example, during maple syrup collection), the sap is released through these openings in the bark.

Tree sap is often referred to as "Amber" or "Pitch" or "Tree Resin". All would be correct in one way or another. However Amber would be fossilized tree sap. Pitch was used to make a tar-like substance to seal boats in archaic times. Tree resign could be all the above and more.
