Hello!
"Bertanya" and "tanya" have same meaning; ask. but in Bahasa Indonesia, "bertanya" usually used like we use "verb-ing", in Indonesian following with "sedang", like "sedang bertanya". Also, in Bahasa, "bertanya" sounds more formal than "tanya".

Hi it's me again..
To answer your question : Yes and No
"Tanya" is the root word, and can mean either :
- Noun : "Tanya" = question
- Verb : "Tanya" = to ask
When you add prefix "ber" to the root word "tanya", the word become 100% verb : "To ask".
Hope that answered your questions
