Is a root filling the same thing as a root canal?

A root filling is the same as a root canal "treatment"...
The root canal of a tooth is that part of the tooth that has the nerves and blood vessels etc... This is what needs to be removed, cleaned and filled when the nerves/blood vessels die due to tooth decay or trauma.
