There are three kinds of ark in Judaism.
1) The holy ark is the special ark in each synagogue in which the Torah-scrolls are stored. It is a tall, heavy, fancy cabinet with a curtain in front and double doors.
2) The holy ark was the Ark of the Covenant in which the two Stone Tablets with the Ten Commandments were held. It was a heavy wooden box covered with gold, with a gold lid. Exodus ch.25.
3) Noah's ark (Genesis ch.6), a type of huge boat, is recorded in the Torah and in the history of many ancient nations. The word for this ark in Hebrew is not the same as the above two.

Why did the jews name the place they keep the torah an ark?
The word "ark" is of Latin origin; it is not Jewish. The Jewish (Hebrew) name for the place where the Torah is kept is "the Aron Kodesh": the holy Aron. "Aron", whose meaning is similar to "ark", is generally not used in classical Jewish sources to mean anything other than the receptacle for the Torah (or the two Stone Tablets, in Deuteronomy ch.9 and elsewhere). (The Torah-word for the ark of Noah is not "aron", but something else.)
