A fin is the flat, thin part that sticks out of a fish's body and helps it swim and steer — sharks, dolphins, and fish all have fins. The word is also used for similar flat parts on other things: a wears rubber 'fins' on their feet to swim faster, and a car or plane can have a 'fin,' a flat piece that helps with stability, shaped a bit like a shark fin.
