Node is the interface that is the common ancestor of every object that makes up the DOM tree. Elements (Element), text, comments, and documents (Document) all inherit from Node, and it provides navigation properties such as parentNode and childNodes as well as tree manipulation methods such as appendChild(), insertBefore(), and removeChild(). It shares only its name with the server runtime Node.js and is unrelated to it.
