When I turn the key, all I hear is a click sound. The car does not start. All of the electronics in the car work fine so I'm assuming its not the battery. What could be the problem?

First, you will need to check all connections to and from the battery and the starter. There should be no corrosion. Don't forget to check the ground connection to the starter.

Second, have your battery load-tested.

Third, some auto parts stores will test your starter for free.
