Wood is a material that you can obtain from a tree, usually by chopping it down with an axe or punching it (in Minecraft). Many plants are made out of this material, particularly woody plants, which is just a tree since the only plant that produces wood are trees. Trees usually only pop up in boring, flat, and grassy lands, creating forests, so that those wood is more easily accesible, and so that those pieces of land aren't as boring. Because of this, wood can be found in most places except for deserts (you'll find sandstone instead).
Wood is pretty awesome since it is the foundation and structure of many things we know today.
