These days, yes, the term word processor is used mainly to identify a software package. Back before computers became so widely owned and used, however, a word processor was more or less nothing more than an electronic typewriter with very limited memory and few, if any, special capabilities.

What is meant by a dedicated word processor?

A dedicated word processor is a program that is just a word processor and provides no other functionality. That is opposed to an office presentation package or an office suite. Office suites would include other functionality such as spreadsheets, databases, PDF converters, Flash presentations, image software, etc. If you mean a machine that is a dedicated word processor, then it is more like an electronic typewriter, but with a little more functionality. So it has software and lets you store and edit documents, and it lets you print them, but it does little else.
