Hello,

I want to ask dumb question. What does fixing co2 mean?

I don't quite understand this. sorry!
 
It is to convert CO2 to a usable form. Similar to nitrogen fixation, except this is for carbon.

Carbon fixation usually occurs in photosynthetic organisms.
 
usually photosynthetic organisms fix CO2 to a carbohydrate form such as glucose via the Calvin Cycle
