A surface susceptible to erosion, such as sedimentary rocks/limestone or sand.
Erosion is where the land or surface will break away/dimish due to weather/water.

A time transgressive or diachronous subaqueous erosional surface resulting from nearshore marine and shoreline erosion associated with a sea-level rise. This erosional surface parallels the migration of the shoreface "razor" across previously deposited coastal deposits. Burrows in this surface are often filled by sediments deposited during a sea-level rise.

Erosional Surface: A land surface shaped by the disintegrating, dissolving, and wearing action
of streams, ice, rain, winds, and other land and atmospheric agencies. Erosional activity will
impact outcrops, glacial deposits, alluvial deposits, etc. and can involve sheet wash, gully erosion,
etc. Lithic material is exposed as a result of erosional activity.

It's a land surface of low relief reflecting long term erosion. The surface may now lie well above sea level as a result of uplift or be tilted or deformed as a result of later tectonics.
Basically, a land surface shaped by agents of erosion.
