The host is an element in Tomcat. It is an association in a network name for the server. Context, on the other hand, is an element which represents a web application, running with a particular virtual host. Web applications are based on the Web Application Archive (WAR) file or correlating directory which is having all the unpacked contents specified with the servlet description.
