That is the pitch at which the cone will vibrate when tapped like a drum when the speaker is totally unloaded (free standing, not connected to anything).
This information is generally only useful when designing speaker enclosures. For open back amps, it doesn't mean much.
In general, big speakers have lower resonant frequencies than smaller ones. Also in general, a higher resonant frequency indicates a lighter cone and/or stiffer suspension.
