You can explain Staking (Proof-of-Stake) as a mechanism where you delegate your stake or tokens to a validator address and in return your receive rewards for that action. Receiving Staking rewards is one important part of the Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism. But more important is that you secure the network by locking up your tokens for a certain time. If you put these two components together, staking means: Token holders are rewarded for securing the Proof of Stake network by delegating to a validator. The amount of the locked-up tokens is also important. The bigger your staked token amount is, the higher your rewards will be. The token rewards are distributed on-chain, which means the process of earning these rewards is completely automatic and done via a smart contract, no humans are involved directly.
