It means the ability to be inherited. Most tangible objects which can be owned can be inherited, that is, passed on to the next generation after the owner's death. Intangible things are less likely to be inheritable. Rank, for example. Your father may be a Colonel, but that doesn't mean that if he dies, you get to be a Colonel too.

This applies also to genetics. If you have blue eyes because your parents do, then blue eyes are inheritable. But if you have your arm amputated, you do not have one-armed children--that is not inheritable. Many scientists study the inheritability of a number of human characteristics.
