From Wikipedia: "Asexual reproduction is a mode of reproduction by which offspring arise from a single parent, and inherit the genes of that parent only, it is reproduction which does not involve meiosis, ploidy reduction, or fertilization."

It essentially means that one organism can "split" into two offspring. Bacteria are a classic case of asexual reproduction. In their case, the actual process of asexual reproduction is known as Binary Fission.

Although Wikipedia is not the best source for academia, the article below

(Sources and related links) gives a great overview of asexual reproduction.
