AND GOT THE EXACT DEFINITION

roguehamster2073 · Answer

Whips are the party's "enforcers", who typically offer inducements and threaten party members to ensure that they participate according to the official party policy. A whip's role is also to ensure that the elected representatives of their party are in attendance when important votes are taken.

They are like officers of the party members, who make sure all of the party members follow policy, and they threaten party members to do so!

roguehamster2073 · Answer

They also make sure that representatives are present when important votes need to be made!
