Assuming you specifically mean calculus an integral is basically the area between some graph and the x-axis between two points. Imagine this:
You have a graph with a line on it (doesn't matter if it's a line or a curve or anything, so long as it doesn't loop back on itself, for now, you have a straight line). Now, pick two places on the x-axis to put vertical lines (these are the boundaries you'll work in). Now you have a left boundary, a right boundary, and a top and bottom boundary (the x axis is one and the line is the other). So, you have a 2-d closed shape. The area this shape covers is the integral of that line from a to b. Above the axis is positive and below the axis is negative.
I'll link to a few pictures to help visualize it. In each one there will be an "a" on the left, a 'b' on the right, some graph and the x-axis. Those are the boundaries and the area inside those boundaries is the integral.

How is Riemann- stieltjes integral a generalization of Riemann integral?
In reimann stieltjes integral if we assume a(x) = x then it becomes reimann integral so we can say R-S integral is generalized form of reimann integral.

What is integral in math?
There are two main definitions. One defines the integral of a function as an "antiderivative", that is, the opposite of the derivative of a function. The other definition refers to an integral of a function as being the area under the curve for that function.
