TIL UDP Traffic runs on TCP.
"TCP/IP" is conventionally used to indicate the whole protocol suite; including UDP, ICMP and sometimes even ARP.
Technically the parent protocol is IP.
In all my years I have never heard someone suggest that TCP is a catch all term.
I've seen many references to TCP/IP as meaning IP + everything-on-top, usually when talking about other networking technologies like UUnet, OSI, etc. Also as the TCP/IP stack, usually meaning the (Free)BSD networking code used in other systems.
