It is the copper plate inside the starter solenoid that when energized connects 12 volts to the starter motor.

On older cars ( 60's and 70's ) it will be on the firewall, on newer cars it is attached to the starter.

well i dont know exactly where the starter is but you should be able to see it under the car around where the tranny bellhousing meets the engine at the fly wheel(auto) or flex plate(manual) either on the left or right side. if the car is not turning over at all then you can put a jumper from the battery to the starter solenoid and that should kick the starter on if it doesnt then you starter/solenoid is bad. but if you car turns over but doesnt start then your starter is fine.
