No, The tie rods are part of the steering system and the driveshaft is part of the driveline.

Engine goes from the top of the block to the top of the oil pan & from the front of the block to the output shaft to the transmission. Drive Shaft is part of the drive train. Tie rods are part of the steering.
Class over!

The drive shaft is not considered part of the engine. As for the tire rods - do you mean tie rods? That would be suspension parts - not part of the engine either.

No. The drive shaft extends from the back
of the transmission to the rear. However, the
motor is part of the Drive Train under the
warranty.
The tie-rods connect the front wheels to the
steering rod.

No, the drive shaft transfers the power from the engine to the axle that turns your wheels. Some cars are front-wheel-drive, some are rear-wheel-drive.
The tie-rods are a part of your steering and suspension system. They have nothing to do with the engine.

No not at all. The drive shaft is positioned behind the transmission which is behind the engine.
