Below are examples of candlesticks and a definition for each candlestick component:

The body of the candlestick is called the real body, and represents the range between the open and closing prices.
A black or filled-in body represents that the close during that time period was lower than the open, (normally considered bearish) and when the body is open or white, that means the close was higher than the open (normally bullish).
