All have read so far is that packages are named snap & the tool that uses them is called snapd.
Despite having a good idea of how snap package work, have no idea what is snapd.
Can you explain to me?

From the official documentation:
- snap is both the command line interface and the application package format
- snapd is the background service that manages and maintains your snaps (if you want to check service status run:
systemctl status snapd.service, if you want to install/remove snap, you need to install/remove the packagesnapd) - snapcraft is the command and the framework used to build your own snaps
- Snap Store provides a place to upload your snaps, and for users to browse and install
