a black hole
What is the force that pulls matter together called?
Gravity. Well, the strong nuclear force and the electromagnetic force can pull matter together, but electrical and magnetic forces can also repel. Gravity always attracts. This particular question is pretty obviously about gravity.
What are the force holding particles together?
Gravity is the force that pulls matter together. The gravitational pull is how the moons stay in orbit around a planet.
Why is earth's gravitational force a form of acceleration?
Forces act on matter, and can accelerate that matter. Gravity is one of the four fundamental forces (along with the strong interaction or strong force, the weak interaction or weak force, and the electromagnetic force). Gravity creates a curvature in spacetime, and things can "slide" or "fall" down into this curvature. Gravity, which is a fundamental characteristic of all matter, attracts matter and accelerates it if it can. We often refer to the earth sitting in the bottom of a gravity wellout of which we must climb to get into space. We have gravity accelerating us, and the chemical engines of rockets forcing us (or our payloads) up agains that pull of gravity.
Is gravity a strong force?
no it is not

What is the name of for an area in space where gravity is so strong it acts like a vacuum cleaner and sucks in energy and matter?
Any concentration of mass will "suck in" energy and matter, due to its gravity; for example, a star.A black hole - to which the description presumably applies - has the characteristic that nothing gets out again.
How is the term 'black hole' defined?
A black hole is a void in space-time where gravity is so strong that no matter or energy can escape the effects of its force.
Why is your cake heavy?
Because the cake has a lot of matter and the pull of gravity (weight) is strong.
What is the point in space and time where gravity is infinitely strong and matter is infinitely dense?
a singularity

What kind of energy is matter?
The only kind of energy that dark matter is -- well, MATTER. Or mass, if you prefer, which is the same thing. We don't know what KIND of matter this stuff is, hence the name "dark." The only two things we know about dark matter is that (1) it interacts with baryonic matter via gravity but (2) it does NOT interact with baryonic matter via the electromagnetic force or the strong force. At this point, we're still working on what type of matter would do that.

Are electromagnetic waves only energy and have no matter?
This is essentially correct. As we currently understand it, there are four basic forces in the universe. These are gravity, the strong and weak nuclear forces (strong and weak nuclear interactions), and the electromagnetic force. An electromagnetic wave is an expression of the electromagnetic force, and it is pure energy. There is no matter associated with electromagnetic waves. It might (or might not) be helpful to note that electromagnetic energy can be converted into matter, and we see this happen in an event we call pair production. A link is provided below to a related question for the curious investigator to use.
How strong is the gravity on the moon compared to the earth?
Lunar gravity is one-sixth as strong as Earth's gravity.
