What is a backlink?

I've seen this term used on social marketing and search engine works. How can I have backlinks?

Backlinks, which are sometimes called inbound links, are incoming links to a web page or the entire website. These inbound links are important to search engine rankings because many different search engines have algorithms that measure the number of backlinks a website or web page has, and ranks those web pages with more backlinks in a higher position. The more backlinks a website has, the more popular it is, and the more pertinent the information is considered by search engine algorithms. Many pages concerned with search engine optimization have mechanisms to discover how many backlinks the web page or website has, so that particular company can not only know the exact number of times that it has been backlinked, but where these backlinks are coming from, and if they are from related sources or not.
