The sump is a tank (reservoir) at the bottom of the engine which contains lubricating oil. When the engine is switched off, the warm lubricating oil at the top of the engine, seeps back into the sump by gravity, ready for future lubricating use when the engine is running again.
A dry sump is not submerged under water as a wet sump is. a dry sump uses a resivoir to hold the oil much like the brake fluid. a wet sump has the oil sump bolted to the bottom of the engine block :D
