In Magic: The Gathering, the keyword "defender" means that a creature cannot attack, but it can block multiple attacking creatures at the same time.
The ability "Defender" is actually a disability, a creature with defender cannot attack. Creatures with Defender often have "Wall" as their type.
if an opposing creature attacks a creature adjacent to the creature with defender, the creature with defender can take the place of the creature being attacked
Yes, attackers attacking a Planeswalker can still be blocked by the defender's creatures.
When damage is dealt in combat, the attacking and blocking creatures deal damage to each other equal to their Power. This does not count as the defending creature 'attacking', so walls will still deal damage if they have a Power of 1 or more. 'Defender' just means that the creature can't be declared as an attacking monster, it can still deal damage using its power when blocking.
In Magic: The Gathering (MTG), blocking happens when a creature is declared as a defender to prevent an attacking creature from dealing damage to the player. Tapping refers to turning a card sideways to show that it has been used for an action, such as attacking or using an ability.
Walls (or these days, creatures with Defender) cannot innately block a creature with any kind of evasion like Flying. Only if the Wall has something like Flying, or Reach, can it block a Flying attacker.
'First Strike' means the creature deals combat damage before others. That can mean it may be able to kill an attacking or defending creature and not take any damage in return. For example if a 2/2 attacks and is blocked by a 2/2, and defender is granted First Strike, it will deal this damage first before other monsters. This damage will kill the attacking monster before it can deal damage back to the defender.

Additionally, it has abilities that allow it to regenerate, making it hard to destroy in combat. Its presence on the battlefield can quickly turn the tide of a game in favor of its controller.
