An inherited member is one that was declared in a parent class. For example, if I have ClassA:

class ClassA {
  public void DoSomething() { }
}

And ClassB inherits from that class:

class ClassB : ClassA
{
}

I can still use the DoSomething method in ClassB even though I didn’t declare it in ClassB. This is because the DoSomething function is inherited by ClassB.

ClassB b = new ClassB();
b.DoSomething();

So when the documentation says “inherited member” it means the property or method or whatever was declared in a parent class.

If you Google object oriented programming you should be able to find more information and learn about how classes work.
