A plate is a flat dish meant for serving one person's portion of food. It would make perfect sense to eat spaghetti from a plate, but you probably shouldn't use a plate for your soup.
While plates can be any shape and made of various materials (including plastic, metal, or paper), they're usually round and ceramic. You can also use this handy noun to mean “the amount of food that fits on a plate;” a sheet of glass or metal; a license plate; or a rigid section of the earth's surface. As a verb, plate means “to coat in metal” or “to arrange food attractively on a plate.”
