Selection tool - The Illustrator selection tool is for selecting objects in your layouts, such as shapes and blocks of type. Once selected, you can use the tool to move, transform, or apply any number of filters or effects to the selected objects.
Direct selection tool - like the selection tool except that it selects only points of an object or a group.
Pathfinder - combine several shapes in different ways, combining, intersecting and dividing them.
Magic wand - a solid tool that allows you to select objects based on defined criteria and make quick changes to your drawings and illustrations.
Warp tool - allowing the user to nudge a path around in a natural manner. The other six tools: Twirl, Pucker, Bloat, Scallop, Crystallize, and Wrinkle liquify your images and are fairly self-explanatory.

Vector - one of the two major graphic types. Vector graphics are made up of many individual objects. Each of these objects can be defined by mathematical statements and has individual properties assigned to it such as color, fill, and outline. Vector graphics are resolution independent because they can be output to the highest quality at any scale.
Blending - allows you to take two or more objects and blend them together by either steps or as a smooth blend.
Live trace -enables you to change photos into vector-based drawings, allowing you to resize any image without losing quality.
Live paint -can instantly apply color, gradients, and other fills to any enclosed space in your artwork, without having to make sure it's defined as a separate vector object first.
