It means decahydrate.
Na₂CO₃·10H₂O is sodium carbonate decahydrate. There are ten molecules of water associated with each molecule of sodium carbonate.
Sodium carbonate, anhydrous, is Na₂CO₃, with no water associated with it.
In the case of a salt like Na₂CO₃, when it becomes hydrated, the water has actually become part of the crystalline structure (it is chemically bonded)
