Heat can be either a noun or verb depending on how you use it:

I use the microwave to heat up my soup. (used as a verb)

The heat transferred was equal to 20 joules. (used as a noun)

"Thermal energy" would only be used as a noun.

It's of academic interest, because the term 'thermal energy' hasn't been used for years!

Heat and thermal energy are typically considered nouns because they refer to forms of energy and do not describe actions. However, the term "heat" can also be used as a verb in some contexts to describe the action of adding heat to something.
