UML stands for Unified modeling language, It provides a set of graphical notations and diagrams that help describe, design, and communicate the various aspects of a system. UML diagrams can represent different perspectives of a software system, including its structure, behavior, interactions, and architecture.
In Use case diagram is a specific type of UML diagram that focuses on representing the interactions between actors (users or external systems) and a system. It illustrates the functional requirements of a system by showing the various use cases (or actions) that actors can perform and how they are related.

I think you are getting confused with the UML and use case.
UML contains different diagrams and Use case is one of it. Use Case diagram defines Behavioural component of Software Design i.e. Actor communicating with the system through Task - Use Case.
UML also contains Structural diagrams as well as - such as Class Diagram.
From what I can understand UML is a superset and USE case is subset.
