I'm really new... what is a wrapper in regards to CSS language?

Well in the real world a "wrapper" as it's name implies is something that wraps around an object and contains it e.g. "wrapping paper" In CSS it is exactly the same thing, but if you want to name it "hoodad" you can.

Just to expand on what @virtual said above, it is often a div that surrounds the rest of the code in your site, often used to center the site on the screen. For example:

 

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
   "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>	
	<title></title>
	<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
</head>
<body>

       <div id="wrapper">
                 ... additional divs and content here...
       </div>

</body>
</html>
