Basically a bow is a long stick. At each end, there is a piece of wood or other material which goes out a short distance from the stick at right angles to it. It holds strings or other material or at least that is what it looks like. They all have technical names.
Beginners bows may use nylon or some other material. A professional uses Siberian horse hair. A professional frequently takes a substance in his hand and runs it up and down on his bow. That is rosin. It keeps his instrument from making a screeching sound. You will hear beginners screech as they play. Professionals do not make that sound.
