gzip is a compression program. Its compressed programs have a .gz extension often in association with .tar.gz which is a compressed tarball. To decompress one uses gunzip at which the .tar is left to itself. Often one can also call gunzip from tar itself
tar -xvzf file.tar.gz would decompress based on the -z flag.
