I think they are referring to the idea of a social construct. Basically, the thing in question doesn’t concretely exist but exists as an idea we,as a group of people, agree on.

Money is a great example. Like you can’t eat currency, you can’t directly build with it, you can’t really do anything directly with the pieces of paper, but people fight wars and kill their fellow man because we all agree that the paper is important.
