It means that no enterprise (or economical agent) that participates in the market is able to have an effect, through their practices, in the final price of the products. The price is set by the market. That's because they don't hold a big enough percentage of the market. Thus a perfectly competitive market consists of a group of individuals and firms trading many goods and services

A monopolist is a single seller in the market, while a perfectly competitive firm is one of many sellers. A monopolist has the power to set prices, while a perfectly competitive firm is a price taker and must accept the market price. This difference in market structure leads to monopolists typically charging higher prices and producing less output compared to perfectly competitive firms.
