Why we r not using tcp instead of http

Hi I have a basic doubt.

Why we are not using tcp instead of http?

for example http://www.yahoo.com to tcp://www.yahoo.com

What is the difference and usage both of this?

TCP and TCP/IP are just transportation and internet layers while HTTP is an
application layer and relies on the TCP/IP layer.

kind regards,
