Exploitation is an easy enough concept to grasp. It is essentially, when someone does not receive the full returns to their labour. That is when they do not receive the full benefit from their activities. So, for example, in feudalism one prevalent form of exploitation was what is called corvée labour. Under this system the serf would work their land and would live off the returns from that. But they would also have to work a corvée; they would have to work the land of the local lord. They would not see any return from this labour. Here we can see the exploitation clearly; The serfs do not receive the full return from their labour. Instead the lord received this return and it was this return that supported the lord economically.
