A gerund is the form of a verb which is used as a noun, but is not the infinitive form.
To try is unproductive. <-- try is in the infinitive. Trying is unproductive. <-- trying is in gerund form. The meaning of the two sentences is the same. Another use: Trying is not as good as doing. <-- trying and doing are both gerunds.
