What part of a hook hooks a fish?

The hook point penetrates the mouth of the fish, the barb
prevents the tip of the hook from coming back out and the bend of
the hook helps hold the fish onto the hook.
Some people will flatten the barb on a hook with a pair of
pliers to make the hook easier to remove and to reduce the harm
experienced by the fish.
The sharp part of the hook, which is called the point, hooks the
fish and the barb keeps the fish on the hook.

What hooks the fish?

There are two main types of hook - the J hook and the circle
hook. J hooks are used by directly driving the hook through the
bait and into the fish with a strong upward tug. The hook can end
up anywhere from the stomach of the fish to the jaw or be snagged
on the exterior of the fish.
Circle hooks are swallowed by the fish and are set by winding
the line tight. The shape of the hook causes the point to swing
around the jaw. Typically, 95% of the hook sets are in the fish's
jaw. This allows the fish to be released relatively unharmed.
Circle hooks are used very successfully in deep water fishing.
