The best way I know to describe a faucet is -- it's a cut-off, or shut-off valve at the end of a pipe that delivers water or other liquid to a destination from the source of the liquid--a tank or water supply system in the city or water district.
The faucet has a handle that turns to open the valve, (which is inside the faucet), to release the liquid/water, or turns the opposite way to close it, that turns off the flow of the liquid/water.
I can't imagine anyone not knowing what a faucet is, but I guess there are still people who have to haul their water from a stream or well. Hope you get to use one soon. You'll think it to be a wonder, to be sure.
P.S. Sorry, after reading the other answers I realized you may only know the faucet as a tap.
I always called "tap" a dance. Go figure...Language...don't you love it??!!

It certainly is a tap across the Atlantic. Anyone know why, or the derivation of the word? It is just so different from the English version.

It is another word for a water tap that is used in the USA.
Another word for one is a spigot.
