A spatial point is an entity with a location in space but no extent (volume, area or length). In geometry, a point therefore captures the notion of location; no further information is captured. Points are used in the basic language of geometry, physics, vector graphics (both 2d and 3d), and many other fields. In mathematics generally, particularly in topology, any form of space is considered as made up of points as basic elements.

A point is the one and only zero dimensional 'object'.
It is supposed not to have any volume.
A point is artificial in mind. Mathematically a point is a basic concept.
A real definition does not exist.
Nature knows no points.

Actually, there is NO!!! exact definition of point given until this time. This is why mathematics is experiencing so many difficulties last years.

If there can be an infinite number of points on any given line, then the definition of it might be, mmmm, anywhere within infinity?

A point has no length, width, height or depth. It has no dimensions. but it is visible. How?

But a line is a point that went for a walk!

In terms of mathematics it can be defined as a circle woth zero radius. otherwise point means opinion/view also(look dictionary)
