The distinction between a requirement and a task is a fuzzy one. There isn't a clean line - and I don't think there can necessarily ever be one.
But I also think that determining where that line is - is a critical part of systems engineering. It will evolve with your understanding of the problem - and right now I think our existing tooling (inspired by agile methodologies) ignores this aspect entirely.
