The floor tom is a piece of the traditional drum kit, that sits low and to the side of the drummer. It resonates at lower frequency than the other toms, and save possibly the kick is the lowest sounding drum of the traditional drum kit.

Hope that helps :)

Is the floor tom a part of the drum set?

It can be but it's not an absolute necessity. Most drum sets sold in packages these days come with a hi-hat, a snare, a bass drum, two tom tom drums (usually attached to the bass drum), a floor tom, and a ride cymbal and crash cymbal. That's pretty much the standard drum set for rock and pop music. The floor tom comes in handy for doing fills and "jungle beats" and stuff.

How is a drums flooor tom supose to sound?

The tuning of one's own drum set is completely by personal preference. I could tell you a specific pitch to tune it to, but that is only ONE way to tune a floor tom. I personally tune my snare to a B flat, my highest tom to an F, my second tom to a D, and my floor tom to a B flat an octave below my snare. However, I suggest you play around with your floor tom and a drum key and see what sound you like best. Avoid it being so low that it sounds "flubby" or "tubby"...and, on the flip side, you don't want it to sound too high and blend in with your other toms. The purpose of a floor tom is to support the bass drum.
