What is the red bit on a match?

On a safety match (the kind you strike on a box) the red bit is primarily a compound called potassium chlorate. The strip on the box is red phosphorous. When you strike it on the box the two compounds create an explosive mixture which is then ignited by the heat and sparks produced by friction between the strip and the match head. Strike anywhere matches put the two compounds together on the match, the red is the phosphorous and the white tip is potassium chlorate. When you strike the match they mix and catch fire similar to striking a safety match on the box.
