Flash was originally developed by Macromedia as a way of serving rich content and interactivity that is cross platform complient. Flash Player lets you view Flash via your Web browser. Adobe purchased Macromedia a few years ago.
You can download the Flash player at Adobe.com

It is a software (very small in size, easily downloadable) that allows you to play flash animations. However, unlike other players like the windows media player, it is invisible to the user. That means when you download and install it, you wont' see anything like a play button or any interface at all. But the flash animations (which are on webpages) will run only if you have the player.

Its a software that allows one to view flash images on the website.. I'd rather call it a plugin or extension rather than a software
