A wallet is basically a way to store a large number(the private key). That private key is used to sign transactions and thus spend the funds associated with a public address. We can also say that usually we call “wallet” any software that holds the private key, sign the transactions and publish these signed transactions on the blockchain (sometimes through another software, in the case of a cold storage).
