They are two different types of products. With xfinity internet, you get only internet service. Like, for your laptop computer. That's wifi service. Xfinity customers are ALSO given a flex TV stick that can give them some free TV services, and allow them to pay for certain premium services as well.
Xfinity cable is TV service, which is not wifi, it's not internet service at all.
There's also xfinity mobile, which is cellular service, aka the "data" you use on your cell phone.
They offer various bundles, packages of channels for cable, speeds for wifi, and who the heck knows what for mobile, but you can also get any of the three of them, without either of the other two (or bundle just two).

To clarify your comment about the Xfinity cable TV service. Yes, it is a cable TV service. But, part of the service provides access to many internet based streaming apps that you can use, even if you have no separate internet service at all. The apps are delivered to your cable box through the Xfinity COAX cable. So, for example, if you have a subscription to Netflix, you can click on the Netflix app on a TV that is connected to an Xfinity cable box and watch Netflix content on your TV without paying for an internet service at all. It is delivered to you using the Xfinity COAX TV cable. You don't need a modem, a router, or wifi because the app's internet access is delivered through the cable TV service. At least that is the way I understand it works.
