They are called blocks. The difference is that Smarty's sections are controlled from within the templates whereas blocks are controlled by the PHP-code that provides the data. It's just a matter of whether the control should be in the template. If you plan to use a 'dumb' designer, it's generally a good idea to make the templates as simple as possible.
