Hey mate here is your answer

In computer science, a pointer is a programming language object that stores the memory address of another value located in computer memory. A pointer references a location in memory, and obtaining the value stored at that location is known as dereferencing the pointer.

For example, an integer variable holds (or you can say stores) an integer value, however an integer pointer holds the address of a integer variable.
