It is forth-specific. It refers to blocks of 1024 bytes of code, arranged in 64 columns by 16 lines and manipulated through a more-or-less standard vocabulary[1], supported by most Forth systems.
You can see it in action in e.g. the CollapseOS emulator[2], as it comes preloaded with ~300 blocks: try writing "0 LIST" (uppercase, as it is case-sensitive - see also [3]).
