Example 1: what is public key
A public key is like an open box with an unbreakable lock.
If someone wants to send you a message, they can place that message
in your public box, and close the lid to lock it. The message can
now be sent, to be delivered by an untrusted party without needing
to worry about the contents being exposed. Once I receive the box,
I'll unlock it with my private key - the only existing key which can
open that box.
Example 2: what is role of public key in ssh

can then only be read by the person who holds the corresponding private
key.
