The Dock is the bar across the bottom of the screen (although it can be switched to the sides) that holds the icons for applications and documents. (See links below)

How do you put the things back at the bottom of your mac when you drag it in the middle of your mac?

The icons in the Dock at the bottom of a Mac's screen are shortcuts to launch your most used applications and documents. Clicking on an icon in the Dock and dragging it into the middle of the Mac's screen will remove the icon from the Dock. Icons can be restored by launching the application and clicking and holding on the icon that appears in the Dock and selecting Keep In The Dock from the menu that pops up.
