A MapInfo TAB dataset describes geographic features and their attributes. Its text .tab header refers to companion .dat, .map and .id files, which must be kept together. It is not tab-separated text (TSV).
A WKT file holds the shapes of a map as plain Well-Known Text, one geometry per line, such as POINT (18.068 59.329) or MULTIPOLYGON (((18.06 59.328,18.065 59.328,18.065 59.325,18.06 59.325))). It is the geometry-only form of WKT that PostGIS, shapely, QGIS and other GIS tools read.
