There are two distinct meanings for "knot". The easiest one is the thing we tie in a piece of line (rope) to secure it. "A bowline is a useful knot." The other meaning is more complicated. The other "knot" is a nautical mile per hour - a rate of speed for boats and planes. It is like a mile per hour used on land, except that a nautical mile is a little more than a statute (land) mile. Therefore when we say, "the boat is going 5 knots" we are saying that the boat is going 5 nautical miles per hour, which is a little more than 5 miles per hour.
