From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing: (http://www.foldoc.org/, Editor Denis Howe)

The part of a disk which passes under one read/write head while the head is stationary. The number of tracks on a disk surface therefore corresponds to the number of different radial positions of the head(s). The collection of all tracks on all surfaces at a given radial position is known a cylinder and each track is divided into sectors.
