expansion card is required.
Expansion Slot is just like port into which expansion card can be inserted. In otherwords port is female and card is male.

An expansion card, not cord is a printed circuit board that is inserted into an electrical connector. It is used to move information between the internal hardware of a computer system.
An expansion card can be inserted into an expansion bay on various parts of a computer to add functionality to the system. The primary purpose is to provide or expand features not offered by the motherboard.
No. CPU's (Processors) are usually one socket units with all needed hardware on one socketed bit of silicon. They are not usually contained on expansion cards or adapters except in cases of very old computer or some blade servers or older hardware. Hope this helps!

to expand things that need expansion ;)
The expansion slot is the socket on the motherboard that can hold an adapter card. There are different types of expansion slots (pci, pcie, pciex16) so you need to check that the expansion is the same kind as the adapter card.
Aka: riser card. A riser card is a circuit board containing expansion slot(s) which allows expansion card(s) to be re-oriented and/or moved to another position relative to the motherboard. A typical riser card rotates an expansion card/slot through 90 degrees so that the card/slot is parallel to the motherboard. A riser card may be used to: - Rotate an expansion card through 90 degrees to face left or face right. - Shiftposition of an expansion card up and/or sideways.
