The ease with which it flows or how thin or thick it is. the more solid it is the higher the viscosity. As in Oil the thicker it is the higher the viscosity machine oil low viscosity, gearbox oil high viscosity.

What term is used when describing characteristics of magma flow?
viscosity
What is a low-silica magma?
A magma containing not much silica (= SiO2). For example: a basaltic magma. These magma's have a low viscosity since the lower the SiO2-content, the lower the viscosity; and hence flow easily (↔ a felsic magma).

What does it mean to have highest viscosity?
The term viscosity refers to the thickness of a liquid, or the degree to which a liquid resists flowing. The highest viscosity is the greatest thickness.
