The iPad doesn’t have a hard drive. It has flash storage. The term “hard drive” is not a synonym for on-device storage: hard drives were a prevalent form of storage, but let’s not become so lax with terminology that it no longer means anything...

Yes, the iPad has flash storage. The same specific kind of flash storage that you'll find inside an SSD. And SSDs are typically referred to as hard drives.
The semantics on this one aren't worth exploring.
