Terminal (Terminal.app) is the terminal emulator included in the macOSoperating system by Apple.[1] Terminal originated in NeXTSTEP and OPENSTEP, the predecessor operating systems of macOS.[2]
As a terminal emulator, the application provides text-based access to the operating system, in contrast to the mostly graphical nature of the user experience of macOS, by providing a command-line interface to the operating system when used in conjunction with a Unix shell, such as zsh (the default shell in macOS Catalina[3]).[4] The user can choose other shells available with macOS, such as the KornShell, tcsh, and bash.[4][5]
The preferences dialog for Terminal.app in OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) and later offers choices for values of the TERM environment variable. Available options are ansi, dtterm, nsterm, rxvt, vt52, vt100, vt102, xterm, xterm-16color and xterm-256color, which differ from the OS X 10.5 (Leopard) choices by dropping the xterm-color and adding xterm-16color and xterm-256color. These settings do not alter the operation of Terminal, and the xterm settings do not match the behavior of xterm.[6]
Terminal includes several features that specifically access macOS APIs and features. These include the ability to use the standard macOS Help search function to find manual pages and integration with Spotlight.[citation needed] Terminal was used by Apple as a showcase for macOS graphics APIs in early advertising of Mac OS X,[citation needed] offering a range of custom font and coloring options, including transparent backgrounds.

I noticed the terminal application open on my macbook pro yesterday, but I did not open it myself. Is it possible that someone who knew my wireless password hacked into my computer remotely?
If they did, it wouldn't necessarily cause a Terminal window to be opened. If you launch Terminal, type 'history' (without the quotes) and press the 'return' key, you'll see the command history for your user. That will give you an idea of what commands (if any) were executed in that Terminal session.
If so, is there any way I could tell that this has happened.
I'm not sure what to tell you to look for, but you might launch the Console utility, open the '/var/log' entry in the column on the left, select 'secure.log', then look for activity while you were away.
If you're worried about remote access, I'd open the Sharing panel of System Preferences and turn everything off.
