In practice, it may be. But they are still different things.
A heuristic is a rough approximation that can help solving a problem.
For example, in a path-finding algorithm, if your destination is northbound, you may try goring north first. This is the heuristic.
It may not be correct (there may be a dead-end) but most of the time, it helps getting there faster.

Is heyristic an algorithm?
A heuristic is not an algorithm, but rather a general rule of thumb. It doesn't always work, but it's fairly decent.
What is the suitable search method for the problem of 'Tower of Hanoi' in Artificial Intelligence?
Many search algorithms are possible. Tree-based methods, in which all paths to all solutions are produced, is one option. Each node in the tree would represent a "state" or "configuration" of the problem, while an edge from one node to the next represents the "move" you make. Consequently, finding a solution to this problem is equivalent to building the tree while checking if each node is a valid solution. Another method, such the A* algorithm is a heuristic search algorithm. You would use a heuristic function that estimates the optimal path to the solution from the current node. It is the quickest, but since it is a heuristic algorithm, it is not guaranteed to always return the correct answer, since this is dependent on the heuristic function you use in your algorithm.
