It's the stuff place in the anime to fill up the space the manga does not cover. Exmple: The bount arc in bleach was never apart of the manga and was made so the manga could make more chapters to make into anime episodes. Some animes skip filler and make up the story along the way when they run out of material. Full Metal Alchemist did this before the reboot.
It's also used to make a season last longer. As such a filler arc can have filler episodes when they have no idea how to continue on. Most filler episodes are one offs that really have nothing to do with the plot. Examples: the characters trying to make dinner for the main character. The Christmas/Valentines/one off holiday episode. The beach episode.
