a barb is what you get on the end of a fishing hook etc. to stop the hook from pulling out once it has been set.

It's a pointed part of a hook going in the opposite direction of the point so the hook won't pull out . Nature has the same thing in blackberries bushes

The small sharp protrusion at the end of the hook. Stops the fish from releasing the hook and swimming away

It is the bit at the end of the fish hook that stops the fish wriggling free.

Anything that can stab something and not come out without causing more damage.
