What does it do. I heard of "intake manifolds" in cars.

It is a pipe into which a number of smaller pipes run.

A manifold is generally a larger pipe that joins several smaller pipes together into a common connection. Examples are the intake and exhaust manifolds on a car. The intake manifold distributes air and gas from a common chamber to the individual pipes that run to each cylinder. The exhaust manifold takes the individual pipes from each cylinder and combine them into the common pipe for the exhaust.

Exactly a manifold in a car means a port either for the intake or exhaust of fuel inti the cylinder...A port is simply an opening.. where as a manifold is a pipe like thing that branches into many or several openings...

There are several applications, but in general, a monifold has one or more inlets and distributes these through a plenum to one or more outlets. It's simply a device that distributes a fluid or air in a controlled manner.
