"Mark displayed an interest in learning" Is the Gerund phrase.

"Learning" is the Gerund.

A Gerund phrase is a gerund that is accompanied by its modifiers or complements, where the entire phrase is a noun. In other words, gerund are words that are formed with verbs but act as nouns, and ALWAYS end with "ing".
