You can say that they provide the same function for the organism, but their origin i different. For example, bats, birds and dragonflies all have wings, but bone placement isn't present in dragonflies as it is in birds and bats. They all let them fly, but they evolved into that form in different ways. It's two structures (or more) that perform the same function but evolved separately.
