Magnets generate magnetic fields.

These fields can be visualized as lines of force, and they extend from one pole of the magnet to the other. (there is no magnetic monopole)

In the lines of force, you see which direction a test magnet would go.

You can also begin to map the strength of these forces (they get weaker as you get farther from the magnet). The field is the description of the magnetic force throughout the entire volume that you're interested in.

Hope this helps!
(there is lots on wikipedia, on both magnets and magnetic fields)

A magnet is an object that has a magnetic field. The word magnet comes from the Greek μαγνήτης λίθος (magnētēs lithos), which means "magnesian stone". Magnesia was an area in Ancient Greece, in present-day Manisa, Turkey where deposits of magnetite have been discovered since antiquity. Ancient Chinese (2nd century BCE to 2nd century CE) navigators has one of the earliest recorded use of a compass devices that uses the principle of magnets.
