The word wedge has many definitions.
Since you are asking in the "Lawn and Garden Tools" section I will assume you are asking about a wedge that is used to separate two things as in chopping wood. Once a cut is made in the wood with an axe a wedge can be placed in that cut and hit with a large hammer to separate the two side of the wood.
