A Port is part of the PC that is used for passing data in and out of a computing device. This is normally located on the back of the PC. The port can be a Serial Port - data is sent/received one bit at a time through a cable containing a single wire, or a Parallel port where the data is sent/received through a cable containing several pieces of wire so that more than one bit at a time can be processed. Also referred to as the I/O Port.
Related to the Internet , a port is a part of a Web server that handles requests for particular services (FTP , TELNET , WWW ).
Each of those services has its own port number, where it "listens" for requests. For example, WWW servers normally listen on port 80. When you use a non-standard port number, it must be specified in the URL after a colon (:) (eg
http://www.domain.com:8000)

3 meanings. First and most generally, a place where information goes into or out of a computer, or both. E.g. the serial port on a personal computer is where a modem would be connected.
On the Internet port often refers to a number that is part of a URL, appearing after a colon (:) right after the domain name. Every service on an Internet server listens on a particular port number on that server. Most services have standard port numbers, e.g. Web servers normally listen on port 80. Services can also listen on non-standard ports, in which case the port number must be specified in a URL when accessing the server, so you might see a URL of the form:
gopher://peg.cwis.uci.edu:7000/
shows a gopher server running on a non-standard port (the standard gopher port is 70).
Finally, port also refers to translating a piece of software to bring it from one type of computer system to another, e.g. to translate a Windows program so that is will run on a Macintosh.

A port is a transport layer demultiplexing value. Each application has a unique port number associated with it. See also: Transmission Control Protocol, User Datagram Protocol.

A point of I/O access to a computer or system. Also, to convert a program from one platform to run on another (e.g., from Unix to MS-DOS or MacOS).
An Internet port refers to a number that indicates what kind of protocol a server on the Internet is using. For example, web servers typically are listed on port 80. Web browsers use this port by default when accessing web pages, but you can also specify what port you would like to use in the URL like this: http://www.excite.com:80/. Game servers, like a Quake server, or a KALI server also use different ports. It is good to know what a port is, but you seldom will have to specify it manually, so don't freak out. There are also two other computer-related meanings of port. One refers to the ports that are on the back of a computer where devices can be hooked up (like a serial port or a printer port). The other is used as a verb and refers to the editing of a program's code so that it can run on another platform. For example, to get Final Fantasy VII to run on a PC, programmers needed to port it to the PC from the Playstation. Mac programs are (too) often ported from PC versions.

Port Definition from Encyclopedia Dictionaries & Glossaries
A port is a location on a coast or shore containing one or more harbors where ships can dock and transfer people or cargo to or from land. Port locations are selected to optimize access to land and navigable water, for commercial demand, and for shelter from wind and waves. Ports with deeper water are rarer, but can handle larger, more economical ships. Since ports throughout history handled every kind of traffic, support and storage facilities vary widely, may extend for miles, and dominate the local economy. Some ports have an important military role.
