It's short for ibidem, a Latin word meaning "in the same place. " Say you are writing a term paper you cite your source as"History of WWII by so and so. on page 10, then if you use the same source again on a later page all you have to do is type ibid page 10 instead of making a new footnote containing the same info source. All you have to do is cite the source of info the first time you use it then ibid back to the page it was first used. Saves retyping the same source over and over every time you use it.

Ibid stands for Ibidem, and that means that something is in the same book, the same chapter, the same page, the same paragraph etc. You use it when you are making multiple references to the same source, so you don't have to keep writing the same thing down all the time.

It's Latin for "in the same place." So you do the entire footnote the first time and then use "ibid," p. 12, for example.
