GPU stands for: Graphic Processor Unit. Technically just the raw chip.
Often we use the term GPU Board, GPU Card or Video Card to describe the full assembly
Here's the guide: iMac Intel 20" EMC 2133 and 2210 Video Card Replacement

What the GPU does, is it renders all the stuff. Or, it turns the computers electrical signals into a visual that can be seen on the screen.
So its like
COMPUTER SIGNALS --> GPU --> DISPLAY
A GPU turns Computer signals into signals a display can recognize and display.
I worded it to make it simple and in my own words

It might be helpful trying to understand why you think you need to replace it. Can you explain your reasons.

I have vertical colored lines when I boot up. I had white screen, then replaced the logic board, but now I've got vertical lines.
