It is known as a Gantry. A gantry is a service tower, a multistory frame which encloses a rocket at its launch pad, containing elevators and staircases that enable technicians to inspect, maintain, and adjust all parts of the vehicle, and for cabling and hoses to be attached to it and removed. If the rocket is a manned spacecraft, sometimes the crew also enters by way of the gantry. The gantry often rolls away or tilts away at or just before launch. Gantries in the West are painted red and white for aircraft safety; Soviet or Russian gantries are painted military colors.
The structure that supports a rocket before launch is called a launch pad. It provides a stable platform for the rocket to stand on and facilitates the safe ignition and liftoff of the rocket.
Rockets are typically attached to the launch pad using a system of hold-down bolts or clamps that secure the rocket in place. These mechanisms are released at liftoff to allow the rocket to launch. Additionally, there are umbilical connections between the rocket and the launch pad for fueling, power, and communication before launch.
The launch pad (even hours after launch) is not a place you'd want to be.See the related link for more information.
To launch your rocket into the air, set it up on a stable launch pad with a clear trajectory. Ignite the rocket engine, ensuring proper ventilation and safety measures. Stand back and watch your rocket soar into the sky.
After a rocket launch, the launch pad is typically unharmed (assuming a successful launch). The pad undergoes post-launch inspections and any necessary maintenance or repairs before it can be used for the next launch.

Yes it does. It is the primary factor involved in lending the rocket the ability to leave the launch pad.

It means when a rocket leaves its launch pad. "Lift Off!"
To launch a rocket, you will need a launch pad, rocket fuel, guidance system, payload (such as satellites or scientific instruments), and appropriate safety measures in place. Additionally, you'll need a countdown sequence, a control center, and the necessary regulatory approvals for the launch.
A launch pad is typically made out of concrete and steel to withstand the heat, pressure, and vibrations produced during a rocket launch. It also includes various systems for fueling, power supply, and communication needed for the launch process.
Your question is very broad. One of the things a rocket takes off from is called a launch pad. Launch pads are the place where rockets take off. But the things that cause it to take off are completely different. A rocket takes off or 'launches' from a concept called thrust. Thrust is when say I have a ten pound ball that I want to throw directly up in the air. I need to create 10 pounds of energy to launch it and then enough energy to actually get it to where I want to go. Those are the basic things that make a rocket launch.
