Tor is a free-to-use network of access points called nodes that work like proxies for your connection. It's also the name of the browser you use to connect to this network. When you use the Tor browser, your connection gets routed through several of these nodes before arriving at its end destination.

The sole purpose of directory servers is to maintain information on the status of each node on the Tor network. The directory servers track when nodes appear and disappear, helping to ensure that the network adds new nodes promptly, and quickly drops unhealthy nodes from the network.
