    Iambic pentameter is the type of meter that contains 10 syllables per line that are alternately unstressed and stressed.

    Iambic refers to this alternation of unstressed and stressed syllables, and meter refers to the number of syllables - one meter equals two syllables. Since is says pentameter, and penta means 5, this means that the line has 10 syllables.
