The center of mass is the point where all of the mass of the object is concentrated. When an object is supported at its center of mass there is no net torque acting on the body and it will remain in static equilibrium.

Any force, which is a function of mass, will act on a 3d object in such a way as though it is a point object with whole mass concentrated at its center of mass.

The point about which all mass is uniformly distributed. Its doesn't mean that mass should lie on the body itself. It may lie outside the body also where material of body doesn't even exists e.g. ring.
