It's the small toothed wheel that the chain runs over by the rear wheel, although in engineering terms it is any toothed wheel designed for a chain, including the one rotated by the pedal and crank on a bicycle.

Generally speaking a sprocket is a toothed wheel that can engage a chain. For full-sized bikes it refers to a part stuck to the rear wheel, but for BMXes it may also refer to the toothed wheel by the pedals.

When your in low gear what sprocket are you using?

It depends on whether you are talking about the front sprocket (the one at the pedals, called a chainring) or the sprocket at the rear derailleur. The lowest gear at the front is the smallest sprocket/chainring. The lowest gear at the rear is the largest sprocket. So if you combine the smallest sprocket at the front with the largest sprocket in the rear you have the lowest gear available on your bike.
