The various IP ratings are “ingress protection” essentially rating how well an electronic device’s case keeps stuff from getting in.
In this case, the first digit 6 means that it’s dust tight. No dust will get in. The 5 is “can resist water spray from every direction”.
For myself, I often look for IP67 or better, which has the same “dust-tight” but is rated for temporary submersion in water.
