How? Use Windows.
Why nothing happens when you click the icon again? The macOS Dock does not have the same Windows Task Bar functionality. They are even called by different names! Ergo, they are not the same.

macOS options:
Command-H
Right click on Dock icon, select Hide
Click on the app name (menu bar, upper left, bold) select Hide App
Click yellow dot in upper left of App window

Many options it has, the macOS
May the Force be with you

Command+M minimizes it.
Command+H hides it.

I never really use the Dock, just spotlight and keyboard shortcuts; but I took a moment to try and do what you said. The closest solution I could find is option+click the app you want to hide on the dock. I personally find hiding more useful than minimizing.

Hope this helps!
