The block is the part of the engine in which the cylinders are contained. Inline is a type of block in which the cylinders are arranged in one straight row. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so I'll post one I found.
 This is an inline 4 B16 Honda block. The inline 4 part just means there are 4 cylinders arranged in a single row. There are inline engines with other numbers of cylinders as well, they don't necessarily have 4; the Nissan Skyline has an inline 6. Other types of cylinder arrangements include V type, horizontally opposed, W type, etc.
