Which part is the gérondif?

Bonjour,

I'm a bit confused which exactly is the gérondif/participe présent. Is it the entire en+ant verb form or simply the ant verb form--since it can exist without the en preposition [as shown in the video link and the external link].

Merci :)

This question relates to:French lesson "En + "-ant" = While/by + "-ing" in French (Gerund/Le Gérondif)"
