Records contain their fields. Tables contain records.
In modern speak, we usually call them Rows and Columns, but I prefer the "record and field" terminology, because rows and columns doesn't make any sense if you rotate the thing 90 degrees, but records and fields make sense no matter what the orientation is.
This is true of all SQL, not just Access, which isn't really an SQL database engine.

This sound like a stupid test questions and what does it matter. All I know is you make a table with fields and you add records to the fields. I don't get the split part.

columns = fields, rows = records
I would say it is a matrix of fields and records
