I can't say for sure, but I think at least in biological sciences, heritability specifically refers to genetics.

From wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heritability): "Heritability is a statistic used in breeding and genetics works that estimates how much variation in a phenotypic trait in a population is due to genetic variation among individuals in that population."
