An Internet Protocol address (IP address) is a numerical label assigned to each device (e.g., computer, printer) participating in a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication. An IP address serves two principal functions: host or network interface identification and location addressing.
Its role has been characterized as follows: "A name indicates what we seek. An address indicates where it is. A route indicates how to get there.

I agree with your explanation about an IP address.An Internet Protocol address (IP address) is a numerical label assigned to each connection.I would also like to add that...IP address is of two types,Internal IP and an External IP.
Internal IP is one that each device like computer,printer has.
The external IP is the one through which one gets connected to the internet.The External IP is got from the ISP and is classified into static and dynamic where static IP does not tend to change and the dynamic IP varies each time the modem is switched ON and OFF.You can use Ip-details.com which displays your public/external IP.
