There are USB microphones, meaning they contain a microphone preamp and analogue to digital converter in one unit with the microphone. They are functional for some purposes, but rather limited in terms of many things people do with proper microphone equipment. There are also USB soundcards or "audio interfaces." Many of them contain a microphone preamp that will allow you to use a wide variety of microphones (They are not all equal, however. Some are much more capable than others. You must buy to match your needs.) You cannot just plug a microphone by itself into a USB port. Microphones require a preamp and input to the computer requires an analogue to digital converter.
