You said <figcaption> is closely related to <alt> attribute. Is it <alt> or <title>?

You said that <figcaption> is closely related to <alt> attribute in video around 3:10 min. But then you cut the title and paste it to <figcaption>..

Both <figcaption> and the "alt" attribute of the <img> element (not a tag itself) are used to associate text with an image.

They are both unrelated to title, but in the example the page title happened to contain the text to be used with the image. So it was just a convenient source to copy from.
