Tappet is basically a cup that creates a clean, secure seat for the valve stem and the valve return spring. It also provides a flat plane to smoothly follow the cam lobe.

Rocker arm is not the valve tappet.

Simply valve tappet is the follower of the cam. Cam activate the valve tappet. Valve tappet activate the rocker arm push Road. Push rod moves The rocker arm. And Rocker arms control the valves.
