The complex of buildings was called the World Trade Center. It consisted of the Twin Towers (World Trade Center 1, aka the North Tower, and World Trade Center 2, aka the South Tower) as well as five smaller buildings (World Trade Center 3 through 7), and a plaza with a fountain, some tables and chairs, and trees planted all over.

Since the attacks, the site has been called Ground Zero.

Not exactly, but the site when he took the oath is only a few blocks away from the twin towers.
NO. They have been constructing the Freedom Tower at the site of the twin towers since April 27th, 2006.
There are currently no plans to rebuild the Twin Towers. Instead, One World Trade Center is being built at the site of the original Twin Towers. It is scheduled to open in late October 2014.
It didn't but they were a really pretty site. So that is you firkin answer
There was a terrorist attack. Osama bin laden hired suicide bombers to hijack several planes and crash them into various American landmarks. Two of the planes hit the twin towers and that was the site of the worst damage. The reason it happened is because bin laden was an extremist and thought that anyone who wasn't Muslim should be killed.
Park51 is two blocks away from Ground Zero.
The United States World Trade Center Site, also known as "Ground Zero", has become the build site of the One World Trade Center, which is estimated to be completed in April of 2013.
After the Twin Towers collasped the site was estimated to be about 62 acres wide (1/8 of a mile).
No there won't be. A monument site will be erected to remember the fallen. Apparently, somehow a Muslim community center was approved for the site. I believe this is very poor taste but others will disagree.
One World Trade Center is currently under construction at the former WTC site. Construction has started on three more office towers one block east of where the original towers were.
