here's what it are of means

[yes this is copy and pasted]

Necroposting is posting a new comment on a thread that is very old and hasn't been active in a long time. For example, let's say there's a post asking "What shape are Viruses?" which was created 6 months ago, was replied to with "Viruses are cone-shaped" or other suitable answers, and hasn't been replied to with any other comments in 6 months. If someone puts another reply (like "Viruses are cones") on this post after everyone else already accurately answered the question and abandoned the post 6 months ago, this would be considered necroposting. The new post would cause the 6 month old post to get treated as though it were a more recent post, when in reality it was created 6 months ago, and isn't a recent post or a post that still needs to be resolved.
