In English syntax, "the" is called the 'definite article'.
In contrast, "a" (or "an" before a noun beginning with a vowel) is called the 'indefinite article'.
Both the definite and indefinite articles are used before a noun (a word which names) to qualify that noun as either a specific noun or a nonspecific noun.
Consider the different meanings of the following two sentences:
i) The child is smiling.
ii) A child is smiling.
The sentence which uses the definite article is sentence i).
