It literally means "something to eat."
것 is a 의존명사, meaning it doesn't have a solid meaning and is always in need of an adjective to describe what it represents. 먹다 means 'to eat,' and conjugating it into 먹을 makes it an adjective. So 먹을 것 means "something that is to be eaten," or simply put, "something to eat"
