When you drop an enemy's health to zero in a squad mode they don't die — they go into a downed, revivable state, crawling and bleeding out. They're knocked, and only a teammate can pick them back up.

Is knocked the same as dead?

No. Knocked means downed and revivable. They only fully die if they bleed out or get finished off.
