A Unix shell, also called terminal or console, is a program that accepts Unix commands from the keyboard and executes them. These commands can be for example

  • ls to list files
  • cp to copy files
  • man to get more information on commands

The commands do not need to come from the keyboard, they will, generally spoken, come from stdin.
