Since you do not tell us your fluent language, I will answer for the English language:
A gerund is the same form as the present participle of the verb - the "-ing" form. It is used as a noun grammatically in a sentence.
Verb: play, plays, playing, played, played
The present participle is playing; therefore, you can make it a noun in the sentence: For children playing is an important part of their development.
Hiking is a good form of exercise for all ages. (from the verb to hike).
