An accretion jet in a black hole, if I am not mistaken, is the "jet" of energy that is released from the black hole perpendicular to the accretion disk, upon the destruction of the matter falling into the black hole.

There are two things which you mixed up in the name, the accretion disk and jets. The accretion disk as stated before is the area where matter is accelerated at very high velocities and produces UV and X rays (usually the method of detection of black holes). The jets are the streams of particles perpendicular to the plane of the accretion disk of the black hole. They are formed by charged particles that are in the surrounding space. The intense magnetic field caused by the black hole forces these charged particles to appear in the perpendicular plane.

blakh holes are very large, dense objects which have a very powerful gravitational wavelength. when a star comes near it then it absorbs the gases from the star.
these gases are very much heated and before they enter the black hole, they form a type of disk which gets heated up in very less time. these gases send of dangerous x-rays. this group of gases is known as the acretion disk.

a disk of gas in orbit around an object, formed by inflowing matter, i.e. a neutron star, or black hole, where friction heats the gases to such intense heat that it begins to emit X-rays
