I have heard native Ukrainian speakers use the phrase "home task," but it is not a phrase used by native English speakers. I'm just puzzled why Duolingo did accept the word "It" for "Це."

I agree that it should be "homework."
Це is the Ukrainian for the gender-neuter noun determiner "this," but it also translates as the nouns "this," "that," and "it."
Це яблуко [noun determiner for a gender-neuter noun] впало з дерева.
{This apple} fell from the tree.
Це [n., all genders] впало з дерева.
{This} fell from the tree.
{That} fell from the tree.
{It} fell from the tree.
«Дома́шнє завда́ння» is homework, a school assignment that people are supposed to do at home.

It may sound bizarre but it seems the term is used regularly by English teachers all around the post-Soviet territory.
