It means it's not certified by Apple - You are best to get one from an Apple store.

That means it won't work with your device even though it claims to

Get an official genuine Apple cable

Using a non certified cable or cheap imports can cause substantial damage,  not only to the phone but in the event of a fire,  the possible consequences don't bear thinking about.

And when you have seen first hand the devastating results of non certified chargers and cables and see the burns and life threatening injuries they can cause...... you would realise buying cheap is never an option...
