Under the traditional Waterfall methodology, Requirements consist of Features, which are split into individual Tasks.
Level 1 - Requirement, Level 2 - Features, Level 3 - Tasks

SAFe / Agile

Under the Scaled Agile Framework methodology, high-level Features are divided into team-level User Stories, then split into individual Tasks.
Level 1 - Feature, Level 2 - User Stories, Level 3 - Tasks

You can add multiple Requirement / Feature types and customize their names (e.g., Innovation Requirement, Enhancement Feature, etc.). This will enable an easy differentiation between different types of Requirements.
