Hi Lisa,
It means dynamically created based on some criteria.
Take www.google.com for example.
Open a browser by clicking the link above and you go to the google start
page.
Type "pasta" in the search box and click the google search button.

You get a web page with a list of links.
That page does not exist as a "page" like "pasta.htm", it is created on the
fly or "dynamically".

BUT!
You can still link to it because google will recreate the page for whomever
clicks the link.
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=pasta&btnG=Google+Search
Six months from now the link will work but the results may be different.

Most all search engines work this way as do most shopping carts.
 
Can help reduce the overall number of pages.

Example: I have a site that has 300 pages, but can dynamically generate
110,000 plus pages.

How? You have to use a server-side programming technology, such as ASP,
ASP.Net, CGI, etc. Why? Dynamic web pages enable you to display
dynamically-changing data, and provide other interactive features that
static HTML pages cannot.
