Extracurriculars explanation

Hey, I just wanted to ask if anyone could give me a more specific explanation of what extracurriculars are. I know this is a dumb question but I am a first-generation immigrant and homeschooled so I haven't had any chances to learn about them offline where most of the things that I have found aren't detailed. Most of them disagree with each other over what counts and what doesn't or make it confusing to understand what I'm supposed to be doing.

Thanks a lot for the help to anyone who reads this.
