Mining is when you exchange you processing power to help the network. Normally GPU's but there are some CPU coins mostly mined with single board computers like odroids what are very profitable. So your GPU power is hash rate and CPU power from my knowledge is primes. So you exchange you computer power to prove that transaction on the network it true there are also other methods called proof of stake or POS.

The Bitcoin blockchain network is run by individual computers all over the world. Anyone can use their computer to be a part of this network. These people are called miners and their computers are used to perform the work necessary to send Bitcoins from one address to the other and to log that information in the blockchain.

Miners get paid for thier work with Bitcoins. The Bitcoins they receive are the newly created Bitcoins that are a result of the mining process per the design of Bitcoin. They also receive Bitcoin from fees that are charged for completing Bitcoin transactions.
