What is a dense pocket of matter that is the beginning of a star?

Stars form in molecular clouds and nebulae, consisting mostly of hydrogen, with some helium and lithium. When enough mass (along with a few other factors) accumulates, such clouds begin to collapse under their own weight, forming dense pockets of dust and gas called Bok Globules. As Bok Globules increase in mass, their cores undergo more and more pressure, and when the cloud reaches hydrostatic equilibrium, a protostar forms at the center.

How can a star that has more mass than the sun be smaller than your sun?
The obvious reason is that the specific star has bigger density compared with the Sun. For example, that star could be a "white dwarf star". A white dwarf mostly contains "electron degenerate matter", which is very dense. A white dwarf is a small dense star.
What fundamental forces pulled together hot dense areas of matter in the early Universe to begin the process of star formation?
gravity
What is behond the black hole?
Theoretically, an infinitely dense point of matter produced when a major star collapsed; the gravity shift and the huge amount of mass imploding creates a vaccuum which draws surrounding matter into it continuously, increasing the amount of matter but not necessarily the space it takes up; matter is crushed and compated into ridiculously small pieces.
What is the for the tiny very dense white dwarf star that is left behind after a supernova?
Neutron Star
Is a high magnitude star more dense than a low magnitude star?
Magnitude is a measure of brightness, there is no relationship with density.
A very small dense star It forms after a huge massive star explodes and then collapses A teaspoon of it matter would weigh millions of tons?
A neutron star.
What is the core of a star called if it is crushed in to a small but very dense object?
"Small but very dense" sounds like the description of a neutron star or "collapsed matter star". Theoretically, a black hole (the only thing more dense) has no physical size at all. So, "neutron star". If the neutron star is spinning rapidly, they are called "pulsars" for the radio-wave pulses that they generate.

What is the beginning of a star?
Gravity plays an important role in the birth of a star. It concentrates matter in the interstellar medium to the point where fusion occurs.

What is a dense rapidly spinning star?
Studying star and star types can be fun, but it can be challenging to remember each type. A Neuron star is a dense, rapidly spinning star.
What happens as gravity increases to the pressure on the matter within a star?
As gravity increases so the pressure within the star increases, the matter becomes more dense and hotter, more matter is fused. The star decreases in volume initially. The thermal pressure increases to maintain equilibrium.Depending on the total mass the star may then expand to a giant or 'explode' catastrophically as a nova.
What are the small dense remains of a high mass star?
