The most basic definition of Ip Spoofing is the creation of IP packets with a forged (spoofed) source IP address. Since an "IP address" is sometimes just referred to as an IP, IP spoofing is another name for this term.
The header of every IP packet contains its source address. This is normally the address that the packet was sent from. By forging the header, so it contains a different address, an attacker can make it appear that the packet was sent by a different machine. This can be a method of attack used by network intruders to defeat network security measures, such as authentication based on IP addresses.

Your computer sends data to the SSH Client.
Your data is intercepted by a fake server acting as a real one.
The person that intercepted your data can use it and now has spoofed the ssh server you use.
