Protocol is a set of rules. Now consider that you are driving a car. You have to follow some set of rules for that. Why was that rules put? It was posed on all drivers so that the transportation is smooth and safe. Similarly in networking the protocols were set up so that the transportation of your message over the network is smooth and safe.

I know that the Internet Protocol (IP) is the method or protocol by which data is sent from one computer to another on the Internet :-)

A standard way of communicating across a network. A protocol is the "language" of the network. A method by which two dissimilar systems can communicate. TCP is a protocol which runs over a network.
