What does Serializable mean?

by

Serialization is persisting an object from memory to a sequence of bits, for instance for saving onto the disk. Deserialization is the opposite – reading data from the disk to hydrate/create an object.

In the context of your question, it is an interface that if implemented in a class, this class can automatically be serialized and deserialized by different serializers.
