      Hi Manpreet

      You are not able update a task field based on it’s Account Field using Workflow Rule, but you achieve this by using Process builder.

      The reason for this is that you cann't get Whatid in workflows that is needed for getting information of related account wth task but on the other hand in process builder you will get it

      Hope this may help:
