A tank helps his teammates in certain ways: Keep focus on him self instead of teammates which can be achieved by either a taunt or initiating fights. Do decent damage (especially to squishies), which makes him a threat and need to get rid of. Or CC.

A tank also need not to be taken out easily, thus he needs to protect himself. By items or skills. Any champion can buy any item, so the difference is in skills.
