    You can "do" many things with an IP. Including (sometimes) but not limited to:
    access a network device
    ping a device
    trace a device
    run dns lookup on device...

    An IP address (Internet Protocol address) is a unique number, similar in concept to a telephone number, used by devices (usually computers) attached to a network to refer to each other when sending information through a Local LAN, Wide area WAN or the Internet networks. This allows devices passing the information onwards on behalf of the sender to know where to send it next, and for the device receiving the information to know that it is the intended destination.
