Right. however your question was about "mi, tu, su" right? and not "se"

ellas = them = their = su Correcto?

Tapar means to cover something physically or not

and it can mean or these are all related to

Cover - conceal - hide

I cover my face

I conceal my face

I hide my face

Yes, they are all different but somewhat synonyms, right?

I think you are stuck somewhere and cannot get ouuuut!

One more, tapar = to put a lid.
