If you're talking about a solid rocket booster, or SRB, then it's the solid-fuel powered rocket motors attached outside the main vehicle, used to provide extra lift at take-off, and jettisoned after take-off when their fuel has expired. These are used on the sides of the Space Shuttle (they're the big, pointy things on the sides). That's the only thing I know of that fits your description, and I'm sorry if that's not what you mean.

Rockets are powered by rocket engines, which operate on the principle of propulsion through the expulsion of high-speed exhaust gases. There are two main types of rocket engines: liquid rocket engines, which burn liquid propellants, and solid rocket engines, which use solid propellants. These engines generate thrust based on Newton's third law of motion, where the expulsion of gas in one direction propels the rocket in the opposite direction. Additionally, some rockets may employ hybrid engines that combine both liquid and solid propellants.

There are several types of rocket motors, including solid rocket motors, liquid rocket engines, and hybrid rocket engines. Solid rocket motors use a solid propellant that burns uniformly, providing thrust until the fuel is consumed. Liquid rocket engines utilize liquid fuel and oxidizer, allowing for adjustable thrust and the ability to shut down and restart. Hybrid rocket engines combine aspects of both, using a solid fuel and a liquid oxidizer, offering some advantages in performance and safety.

Solid fuel
in the engine
In a solid rocket engine, the oxidizer is a chemical component that provides the necessary oxygen for combustion of the fuel. Common oxidizers used include ammonium perchlorate or ammonium nitrate, which are mixed with a fuel to create a propellant that burns to produce thrust. The oxidizer is integral to the solid propellant formulation, enabling the rocket to operate in the absence of atmospheric oxygen.
There are solid rocket fuels, and there are liquid rocket fuels.
Liquid rocket engines would act much like a car engine. More fuel, more thrust. Solid rocket engines are either on or off. No throttle control.
The three types of rocket fuels are liquid rocket fuel, solid rocket fuel, and hybrid rocket fuel. Liquid rocket fuel consists of liquid components that are combined and ignited to produce thrust. Solid rocket fuel is a mixture of solid components that burns to produce thrust. Hybrid rocket fuel combines elements of both liquid and solid rocket fuels.

The thrust generated in a solid fuel rocket engine is primarily determined by the type and composition of the propellant, the design of the combustion chamber, and the nozzle configuration. The burn rate of the solid fuel, which can be influenced by factors such as temperature and pressure, also plays a crucial role. Additionally, the nozzle shape affects how efficiently the exhaust gases are expelled, impacting the thrust produced. Ultimately, these factors interact to determine the overall performance of the rocket engine.
The thrust of a solid rocket engine depends on the composition of the solid fuel and the rate at which it is burned, and to some extent on the way the gases are directed by the exhaust nozzles. The same material can be burned at different rates to produce more or less thrust, and the nozzles (also used for directional control) can divert this thrust to control velocity and stability.
