The cran is the part that together with the pedals go round when you pedal. For a 3-piece crank it consists of a right crank arm, left crank arm and the axle that goes between. There are some other bits as well, like bearinc cups ASO, but no point in letting reality get in the way of a good name. There are also ashtabula cranks where crank arms and axle are one solid piece.
A 3-piece crank consists of axle, left crank arm and right crank arm with chain ring carrier. 3 parts in total. For a 2-piece crank the axle is a permanently mounted part of the right crank arm
The cranks or the crankset are the arms that the pedals attach to, and the axle that ties the arms together. There's one-piece cranks, where both arms and the axle are one solid piece, two piece cranks(one loose arm and one arm + axle) and three piece cranks(arm, arm and axle as separate items).
A crank, or crankarm is part of the pedal assembly. they sit a bit like the arms on a clock with one ended anchored at the crank axle AKA bottom bracket and the pedal where you put your feet at the other end.
Pushing on the pedals puts tension on the chain, which rotates the rear wheel and pushes the bike forward.
Many mountainbikes still have 3-piece cranks, and almost all of them would be able to use one. For some you'd need to change the bottom bracket (the crank axle) first.
The crank, or the crank arms are at the bottom side of the bike right between the wheels. At the end of the crank arms are the pedals where you put your feet.

What do you use to strip a crank on a bike?
If this is about a bicycle it'll depend on the style of crank you have. Maybe an Allen key or two, maybe a socket wrench, a crank puller, a pedal wrench. Then whatever tools your bottom bracket requires, there's a few options there too. If this is about a motorbike, it's a hopeless question. There are too many steps involved in stripping an engine crank for it to be covered here. Many of them would be specific to your exact engine as well.
