ADB/fastboot not detecting device while in bootloader

I followed the steps on the Arch Wiki for setting up ADB with my device. I authorized USB access to the tablet and ADB can detect the tablet successfully when turned on. However, when I ran adb reboot bootloader, neither fastboot nor ADB can detect the device. The device has USB debugging and the bootloader is apparently unlocked.

I need access into the bootloader to boot TWRP and root the device.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab A (SM-T350) with Android 7.1.1.
