A relay is a part that acts like a switch that can be controlled by an Arduino. They usually are powered by sending current through a coil, which moves a piece of metal to touch a contact within it. (Note there are also solid state relays which act more like a transistor.) The moving parts is why some devices make a "clicking" noise when they turn on/off a light or another device attached to it.
