From google:
mucous plug
The mucous plug is thick column of mucous which sits in the cervix and blocks off the entry of bacteria which could otherwise track their way into the uterus. The mucous plug is essentially a collection of thick cervical mucous which builds up to form a very effective protective plug or stopper.

Not to sound dumb, but what is the mucus plug?

I agree with Amy and Angela. What cc said is correct however if it stringy like snot that's most likely the mucus plug.

It could also be your mucus plug.
