Node

All content in a website is stored and treated as nodes. Therefore nodes are any postings such as blogs, stories, polls and forums. The node module manages these content types and is one of the strengths of Drupal over other content management systems.

Treating all content as nodes allows the flexibility of creating new types of content. It also allows you to painlessly apply new features or changes to all content. Comments are not stored as nodes but are always associated with a node.
