What is phosphate groups?

A phosphate group is a part of a molecule (i.e. group) with the formula PO4. Depending on the molecule it is part of it can be either inorganic phosphate or organic phosphate. Phosphate groups are essential to many biochemical processes (e.g. ATP for energy storage, phosphorylation of DNA to inhibit/enable gene expression).

Do the rungs of DNA connect to phosphate or sugar?

Sugar. The backbone of the DNA molecule is composed of ribose and phosphate, but the bases which make up the "rungs" of DNA are always connected to the sugar. The phosphate is used to bond the sugars together into long strings.
