An integrated circuit (IC Chip) is a small chip that replaces a small part of a circuit.
In the days before IC's, there were resistors, transistors, diodes, vacuum tubes, etc., on the circuit board.
The IC places all those parts into a small multi-legged chip to perform all the same duties that the numerous parts did.
It saves time and size-requirements for a circuit board.

'A monolithic integrated circuit (also known as IC, microcircuit, microchip, silicon chip, or chip) is a miniaturized electronic circuit (consisting mainly of semiconductor devices, as well as passive components) that has been manufactured in the surface of a thin substrate of semiconductor material.'
