Notice below how the Create action's To field references the Actions Source Query column POTENTIAL_OWNERS_EMAILS in the Send Email Settings section. It also uses the Notify New Task email template. Clicking on the (Set Placeholder Values) button opens the Placeholders Grid dialog shown below. It lets you configure values for all placeholders in the email template. Here, the NEW_TASK_SUBJECT placeholder uses the task's subject with the &APEX$TASK_SUBJECT. syntax.
