It means nothing can get through it. Some things are permeable, meaning that liquids or other matter can "permeate" them or get into them, like a kitchen sponge for instance. Others are impermeable, meaning nothing can get through or into them.
In geography and other sciences, impermeable refers to materials, such as rock, that will not allow the penetration of fluids such as water.

Impermeable means that fluid cannot pass through the subject. Subject being the item to which you are referring as impermeable. aka.. waterproof :)

It has been known to be used in war i.e. in describing defences as being impermeable i.e. nothing can get by, not even water.

Impermanence means that nothing will stay the same as it is now, right this second, even though it may look the same. Or in short, everything changes.

For example (1) Look at a river today. Come back tomorrow to the same spot and look at it again. It looks the same, but the actual water in it is different. Yesterday that water you are seeing now was upstream and the water you saw yesterday is now further downstream. So it has changed

(2) Look at yourself, every 7 years every cell in your body will be replaced, so it is like you are a new you every 7 years or so. And as these cells are replaced, the replications are not perfect, so glands and bodily functions decay and we age.
