"Tar" means a number of things in English, mostly having to do with dark, sticky, viscous organic substances of various kinds. It can mean coal tar, the tar that coats the lungs of cigarette smokers, a kind of unrefined heroin (black tar), or as above, pine tar.
And, of course, asphalt that you make roads with. That's the same substance, naturally-occurring bitumen, that a lot of prehistoric creatures got stuck in, at the La Brea Tar Pits in California.
