A play on words is also called a "pun". It's usually using one word that has two of more meanings or similar sounds with different meanings to create a funny outcome. For example: "A horse is a very stable animal." This could be interpreted in two different ways - "stable" meaning reliable, and also "stable" meaning they are kept in a stable, or small room in a barn. It's funny when putting these two words together in one sentence, because they both apply, but mean different things.
