Based on table 210.24 I can tap a 20Amp circuit with a 14 AWG??

example: 14AWG pigtails on 20Amp receptacle outlet circuit, 14 AWG switch leg for a 20A rated garbage disposer circuit

Not in those examples. That #14 is still branch circuit wiring.

Why is there a tap 14 awg under the 20A circuit? When can that be used?

Only if the tap complies with 210.19(A)(4) Exception No. 1...

...which is to say no to your examples.
