A sample is a small part of anything or one of a number, intended to show the quality, style, or nature of the whole; specimen.

So, for instance, when you go to an ice cream shop and they give you a taste spoon with one flavor you want to try, that is a sample. It is a small portion designed to help you decide if you want more of it.

It is a subset of the population. That is, a subset of the units which are being studied.
