Vertices are the "corners" of the polygon. In other words, where the lines meet and go another direction. The cool thing about a polygon is that the number of vertices is equal to the number of sides, so it's easy to remember that a triangle has 3 sides (lines) and 3 vertices (points). Same thing for rectangles, pentagons, hexagons, etc.

polygons are closed figures formed by line segments.the meeting points of the line segments are called the vertices

A polygon vertex is a point at which two polygon edges of a polygon meet. The word "vertices" is the plural form of vertex; that is, one such point would be called a vertex and more than one such point would be called vertices. Look at the diagram on the website below under Source(s), because it shows a polygon with a edge and a vertex identified. If the diagram by itself does not make you understand, try re-reading this explanation while looking at the diagram.
