A skeuomorph is a virtual object in a digital interface that resembles an object from real life. In calendar applications, for instance, you can have an image that looks very similar to a physical calendar to give you the sensation of familiarity.
What can we conclude from the dialogue?
Tom is absolutely right
No, he isn't. He thought skeuomorph was a plant, but it's not.
Skeuomorph is a digital plant
A skeuomorph could be a virtual image that looked like a plant, but there's more to it.
Alice came up with a non-existing word just to win the game
Not really. It's a strange word, but it does exist.
Tom didn't guess the meaning of skeuomorph and Alice explained to him what it is
