Basically in a savings account you put in a certain amount of money and based on the amount that you put in, there will be a specific interest rate. In a CD account you can put in money and the interest rate will raise as time goes by, usually starting at 0.01% the first year.
A CD savings account might earn money for you. This type of savings account earns interest for the person who purchases the CD.

A CD savings account is the same as a regular savings account, but for a fixed term such as 6 months or a year or five years. The interest rate on a CD savings account is typically higher than a standard savings account because you are keeping your money in the account until maturity. Once it matures, you can withdraw the amount plus interest accrued.
No, CD rates are higher, but you cannot withdraw the funds as easily as a bank savings account.
In order to open a CD savings account one would need to go to the bank in which one wants to open the account at. Once there, they will be asked to fill out paperwork and provide a valid photo ID as well as other identifying information. It should take a few minutes tops to open a CD savings account.
Because they earn a higher interest rate than savings accounts. The interest on CD's is atleast 2-3% higher than savings accounts. On the downside, the money in your CD is not as liquid as your savings account and your bank may charge you a penalty if you withdraw the money before maturity date.
A savings account would still allow you access to those funds. However, if you please your money in a CD it can gain interest that is compounded daily, but you cannot cash in the CD before it's due date without risking cost to you.

There are five types of savings account available at Hancock Back online. These include Silver Savings, Christmas Club Savings, Certificate of Deposit, IRA CD, and IRA Savings.
A CD is a Certificate of Deposit, which is a financial product that pays a higher rate than a traditional savings account in exchange for an agreement that the deposit will remain in the bank for a fixed period of time. Periodic statements are not typically issued for a CD. Some banks such as Bank of America offer a hybrid or flexible savings plan that combines elements of a savings account and a CD. With these accounts, it is possible that a monthly or quarterly statement would be issued.
