It is a wholesome logical piece of code, for example all set of instructions under an if statement or a for loop is considered a code block. In Python, correct indentation of code blocks is vital to proper code flow.

In Python all the indented stuff following a line that ends in a colon is a code block.

In most modern language, a code block is a number of lines of code delimited by curly braces { } In python, indentation is used instead. You can have nested blocks, ie blocks within blocks. (e.g., an if statement in a function) in languages like java or c++, the scope of a variable defined within a block is limited to the block. The variable is not recognised outside of the block. there is a good explanation here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_(programming) Happy coding!
