The video tutorial explains the concept of a vertex in geometry, focusing on its role as the endpoint where two rays meet to form an angle. It covers the properties of rays, including their endpoints extending to infinity, and discusses the measurement of angles as the space between these rays. The tutorial also highlights the rotation about a vertex, defining it as the point of rotation and the common endpoint of the rays.
