I trust that you know what it means for a set of vectors to be linearly independent, and what it means for a set of vectors to be linearly dependent. (If not, then that's the question you should be asking)

Now, if $A$ is a matrix, and you have a few solutions of the equation $Ax=0$, then you can ask whether those solutions – those vectors that you have found – are linearly dependent or linearly independent.
