Cubic Feet Per Minute, measurement of air flow (not to confused with pressure )

For radiators, you'll want to look for fans that are geared toward more static pressure over plain air movement

what does CFM mean and does it help in water cooling

As others have said Cubic Feet per Minute, for watercooling you want to have pressure optimized fans to push or pull the air through the radiator, pressure and CFM are directly related so when pressure goes up CFM goes down and vice versa.
