A diode is basically any of a great variety of circuit element that has two electrical connections. They serve many different functions. The simplest type, the rectifier diode, only lets current through in one direction - but there are other specialized diodes, like the LED (light-emitting diode), to name but one.

A diode can also be used as a clamp, and as a detector (mixer) in an a.m. receiver.
