CDs are similar to savings accounts in that they are federally insured and thus almost completely risk-free; they are "money in the bank." Bank CDs are insured by the FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation) and credit union CDs are insured by the NCUA (National Credit Union Association).
They are different from savings accounts in that the CD has a specific, fixed term to maturity and typically a fixed interest rate for the duration of that term. CDs can have lower or higher rates that savings accounts, depending on the direction the prime rate (controlled by the Federal Reserve) is headed. You must leave your money in the CD for the term to maturity or face withdrawal penalties, which can quickly cut into the interest.
