豆腐 /tou fu/ is Japanese word meaning tofu. Tofu is originally a Chinese food, and the word exists in Japanese as well since many Japanese cultural stuff, food, even Kanji (Chinese characters now the main writing style of Japanese Language) were originally inserted from China.
Tofu is a food of Chinese origin, made by coagulating soy milk (which is derived from soy beans), and then pressing the resulting curds into blocks. It's an excellent source of protein, which is why many vegetarians eat tofu instead of meat.

Silken tofu is a food, so I'm not entirely sure what you mean by a "food equivalent" for it... If you mean a 'meat equivalent, there is none. And if you mean 'a substitute for' silken tofu, normal tofu will usually work if the recipe is savory. But don't use regular tofu as a replacement for silken in an ice-cream/mousse dessert; in this case there is no replacement for silken tofu.
