It's a free (ish) type of database commonly used to store information on websites.

It is a query language you use to build databases. You can connect with these databases with php or many other scripting languages.

MySQL is a popular Relational Database Management System. It is designed to store data in user defined schemas and then retrieve the data based on queries it is sent by various users. Many sites such as Wikipedia use it as a back-end. Also, open-source web-scripts such as MediaWiki, Drupal, WordPress, and others are designed to use MySQL by default.

It is a relational database management environment. It is open source! So you can just download it for free and you will be ready to use it. It is well known combined with PHP. So you can have online systems, where you use PHP language to create queries. It is awesome. For example, I did this with PHP and MySQL:
