Inference means taking information and making an assumption or guess about it. An inferential question is one that can't be answered by the information within the question itself, but that you must make an educated guess.

An example would be a question where you read about a train ride and the passage includes a description of tall buildings outside the windows. An inferential question would be "Was the train traveling through the country or a city?"
