What is meant by the statement that the resistance of a wire is 1 ohm?

Resistance is a measure of the opposition to current flow in an electrical circuit. Resistance is measured in ohms

Mathematically, $R = \frac{V}{I}$

The resistance of a wire is 1 ohm means:

When 1 volt potential difference is applied across the wire, a current of 1 ampere will flow in the wire.
