Is duck a homophone or homograph?

Both. A homonym is a word that sounds the same as another but may be spelled differently. In either case, both words have different meanings. A homograph is a word that is spelled the same as another but has a different meaning. "Duck," meaning a waterfowl very capable in its early youth of imprinting upon a nurturer of another species, and "duck" meaning "Look out below!" fits both categories.
