It's a term left over from the MUD (multi-user dungeon/domain) days. MUDs were the text-based precursors to MMORPGs like WoW.
'Mob' is short for 'mobile', ie, something that moved around - so any wandering monsters or NPCs. In WoW, mob typically refers to an aggressive NPC.

'Mobs' is a slang term for just about anything that moves which you can kill. Basically, it means monsters. Technically NPC's and critters (non-combatant creatures) are mobs too but the term usually isn't intended to mean them.

Mobs in WoW or in any other game simply refers to a group. Whether it be a mob of creatures / humans / etc that you are fighting.
