They mean "derived from or composed of matter," in other words, things that are made of matter.
By matter, they mean "the substance or substances of which any physical object consists or is composed."
Material things are all the things around you. The Earth, your chair, you, a tree, your car, an earring, a butterfly, etc... every physical thing around you.

It means objects, like an orange or a computer of the empire state building. Matter itself can just be substance, like gold or water or air. But "material things" are objects made out of matter, either manmade or natural.
