A baryon is a subatomic particle; a hadron (a grouping of elementary particles that experience strong nuclear force) with a non integer spin. They may be organic in nature.
Baryons accumulate aboard starships as a result of warp travel. They can be removed at facilities such as the Remmler Array which performs baryon sweeps which are lethal to organic material. Captain Picard was once trapped aboard the Enterprise-D during a baryon sweep. (TNG: "Starship Mine")
