Default What Is an Index Fund?

OK, I know I'm showing my ignorance here, but could someone explain in very simple terms what exactly an Index Fund is. I have a friend that keeps telling me that if I invest in the stock market, an Index Fund is what I should buy. I just don't understand what exactly that is. Thank you
