Definition
Weber (Wb) is the SI unit used to measure magnetic flux.
Analogy
Imagine you have a box of chocolates, and each chocolate represents a certain amount of magnetic flux. The Weber (Wb) is like the unit used to measure how many chocolates are in the box. So, just as the Weber measures magnetic flux, it tells you how much "chocolate" is passing through a given area.
