no, a black hole is a region. With nothing, not even light could escape, is a black hole. Around the black hole, an event horizon that marks the point of no return. The way it is named: the Black Hole, is because "it absorbs all the light that hits the horizon, reflecting nothing, just like a perfect black body in thermodynamics."

What many people don't know is that the black hole is divided into 3 parts: the 'singularity', which is in the centre. The 'inner event horizon', which is the point of no return in black holes. After passing the point, light or matter can't escape the gravitational pull of the black hole. The matter or light will then disappear. And the 'outer event horizon', is the outer layer of the black hole.
